The NLRB ruled that Home Depot violated federal labor law by firing an employee for refusing to remove "BLM" messaging, and ordered reinstatement and back pay.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled that Home Depot violated federal labor law by firing an employee who refused to remove "BLM" (Black Lives Matter) messaging from their work apron. The employee's decision to display the BLM acronym was deemed a "protected concerted activity" to protest racial injustice within the store. The NLRB has ordered Home Depot to offer reinstatement and back pay to the worker who resigned rather than remove their BLM marking.
