A judge ruled Friday that a complaint accusing Home Depot of interfering with workers' rights by not allowing them to wear Black Lives Matter messaging should be tossed out. The US National Labor Relations Board’s general counsel had claimed the company was violating federal law by preventing staff from wearing "Black Lives Matter" imagery on their aprons which administrative law judge Paul Bogas disagreed with, according to Bloomberg. Bogas wrote that the Black Lives Matter labels did not possess "an objective, and sufficiently direct, relationship to terms and conditions of employment." Bogas added that the Black Lives Matter message "originated, and is primarily used, to address the unjustified killings of Black individuals by law enforcement and vigilantes." The NLRB alleged last year that Home Depot "selectively and disparately" enforced its dress code to target Black Lives Matter imagery.
