Quick Glance: Starbucks Fails Labor Law by Banning Pro-Union Buttons, DC Circuit Ruling
- A divided U.S. appeals court panel ruled that the manager of a Seattle Starbucks store violated federal labor law by instructing a barista not to distribute union buttons during her paid breaks.
- The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit stated that while the manager in 2022 specifically warned the worker not to give buttons to customers, her comments could also discourage other workers from distributing union paraphernalia, even among themselves.
- Starbucks spokeswoman expressed disappointment with the ruling, emphasizing that it involves a single store. On a national level, Starbucks continues to focus on supporting managers to ensure respect for partners' rights to organize, freely associate, and engage in other lawful activities.
- Starbucks and Workers United agreed in February to establish a 'framework' to guide organizing and collective bargaining, potentially resolving many pending legal disputes. The union has accused Starbucks of numerous labor law violations, including interrogating and retaliating against union supporters.

Quick Glance: Bank of Canada Likely to Lead U.S. Fed in Rate Cuts
- The Bank of Canada is likely to move ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve on its first rate cut, as tepid economic growth and cooling inflation are priming up conditions to ease borrowing rates sooner, economists and analysts said.
- Canada may also need deeper cuts in the current cycle, since the economy is much more sensitive to interest rates due to its household debt, which as a percentage of net disposable income is the highest among G7 countries.
- Canada is expected to cut more aggressively over a longer time frame than its neighbor.
- Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has said that despite two back-to-back soft inflation prints, underlying price pressures in the economy still persisted and it was still too early to consider a cut.
