The board has accused Arthur T. Demoulas of planning a work stoppage and placed him on leave Wednesday.

More than a decade after Market Basket employees went to bat for their ousted CEO, his position is in jeopardy again.

The supermarket chain said Wednesday in a letter to employees that its board had placed Arthur T. Demoulas, the CEO and a minority shareholder, on paid administrative leave, along with "several other employees working with him." In a subsequent news release, the board accused him of planning a work stoppage and claiming he has a "unilateral right to appoint his children to succeed him."
