Home Depot Broke Law by Telling Worker to Remove BLM Apron, Labor Board Rules
- The National Labor Relations Board ruled Home Depot broke the law by telling a worker to remove "BLM" from their apron or quit
- The board said the worker's actions were protected under federal law allowing "concerted activities" by workers
- The case stemmed from broader issues of civil rights apparel in workplaces after George Floyd's death
- Home Depot now must reinstate the worker who refused to remove the "BLM" lettering
- The board chairman said workers have rights to protest racial discrimination at work
