The nine justices announced this morning they would take up UNITE HERE Local 355 v. Martin Mulhall, a case involving whether a deal struck between union organizers and management violated labor law because it gave the union the private contact information of the employees, among other benefits.

In 2004, UNITE HERE Local 355 and Mardi Gras Gaming reached a deal in which management agreed to hand over the contact information, stay neutral as the union attempted to organize its workers and allow a card check election. In the exchange, the union leaders promised not to back an anti-gambling ballot initiative and to promise not to strike or engage in other activities against the business.
