A highly publicized complaint filed by by US Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against Home Depot Inc. for taking issue with workers' asserting rights to wear Black Lives Matter (BLM) to protest against racial harassment was dismissed by administrative law judge, Paul Bogas. The NLRB argued in the Home Depot case and another against Whole Foods Market that federal law protects the right of employees , that "employers violated that law by prohibiting staff from wearing Black Lives Matter messages on their clothing." The decision reasoned that the BLM messaging lacked "an objective, and sufficiently direct, relationship to terms and conditions of employment" to be legally protected.
