Starbucks has said the case from US labour officials seeking the order was insufficient to justify the command.
How the fight is decided could have big implications for what kind of relief US workers can hope for in labour disputes.

Starbucks has said the staff, who invited a local news crew into a store to hear about their cause, were sacked for breaking company policies, including about off-duty access to its properties.
It appealed the emergency order, known as an injunction, which was upheld by a lower court.
Proponents of the temporary injunctions have said they are necessary to address harm that occurs during the lengthy time it often takes to resolve labour disputes.
However, Starbucks has successfully fought off such orders in other cases where judges held regulators to a tougher standard – a sign of a split in legal opinion that it has asked the Supreme Court to settle.
Business groups, including the US Chamber of Commerce, have filed arguments in support of Starbucks.
