The production company behind a 2024 film shot in South Carolina is responsible for one National Labor Relations Act violation after 16 crew members left the production after a strike, a National Labor Relations Board judge found, finding that just one of the separations constituted an unlawful discharge.
If the U.S. Supreme Court steps in to review the legality of former Federal Trade Commission leader Rebecca Slaughter's firing before the D.C. Circuit does, it should also intervene to consider former National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox's firing, Wilcox told the justices.
The Ninth Circuit's decision to revive a suit accusing Trader Joe's United of infringing the grocer's trademark may chill unions that adapt their employers' brands from merchandising, potentially cutting off a funding stream for independent unions.
