NFIB has filed an amicus brief in Starbucks Corporation v. M. Kathleen McKinney, arguing that the Sixth Circuit's current standard is harmful to small businesses, allowing the NLRB to interfere in lawful business practices. The NFIB seeks to reverse the Sixth Circuit's decision and clarify that the traditional four-factor test is the proper standard for preliminary injunctions, arguing that it allows the NLRB to have unchecked and long-term meddling in small employers' operations. NFIB's brief argues that the watered-down injunction standard leads to extreme deference to the NLRB and that the NLRB has used this standard to engage in unchecked interference with small businesses. The NFIB Small Business Legal Center protects the rights of small business owners in the nation’s courts. NFIB is currently active in more than 40 cases in federal and state courts across the country and in the U.S. Supreme Court.
