Last week, the NLRB ruled against Starbucks’ dress code policy at its New York City Roastery Reserve cafe, finding it violates labor law. The Board panel unanimously determined that the policy—which bans most personal, political, or religious pins and limits workers to the display of just one labor-related pin—is unlawfully broad and limits workers’ rights to organize. The dress code also barred workers from wearing shirts with graphics, including union insignia.

Proud to say I’ve never been. I’d much rather not make the long drive but stay home in my fuzzy house shoes and snuggle down with my cheapo coffee brand from my cheapo coffee maker and my big old mug with a bit of cocoa, cinnamon or homemade vanilla extract as I like it. Refills all day long.
