Home Depot Discriminated Against Worker For Black Lives Matter Support, NLRB Alleges

The complaint says Home Depot management threatened workers with "unspecified consequences" for wearing BLM slogans on their uniforms.

An official with the National Labor Relations Board has filed a complaint against Home Depot alleging that the retailer discriminated against a Minneapolis employee for their Black Lives Matter activism at work. The filing from an NLRB regional director claims the company used its uniform policy to “selectively and disparately” punish workers who had the initials “BLM” on their Home Depot aprons.  One worker was allegedly told to choose between wearing the slogan and having a job at the store. That worker was suspended and then terminated, according to the complaint.
