SCOTUS will be ruling on a case in which a cement company is suing the union for lost profits from labor action.
Union drivers refused to move cement that had already been mixed, causing the company to dump it.
The company is arguing that this constitutes the destruction of property, which is not covered by the National Labor Relations Act. The union pointed out that they did not actively destroy anything, they simply stopped working.
If this SCOTUS sides with the company (as if we don't already know they will), this could probably mean that unions will be responsible for any profits lost during labor action. Strange how they don't seem to be entitled to any windfalls a company might have.
If they keep taking away the legal means, what are we left with?
