Several employees at a Home Depot in Minnesota decided to affix Black Lives Matter labels onto the aprons given to them by their employer. After being told they would be fired if they persisted, several opted to resign. One employee then brought a lawsuit against Home Depot, alleging the employee was "required to choose between engaging in protected concerted activity, including displaying the 'BLM' slogan, and quitting employment.”
