Supreme Court rules in favor of concrete company against union.


Recommended Posts

The majority is 100% correct that the state court was in error with its ruling. This is without regard for the merits of the claim by the firm that the labor side owes them for ruined product.

100%, They knew what would happen to those trucks. All they had to do was dump the mix and cleanout those trucks and then walk. would have been an extra 20 minutes of work, tops. That's one of the reasons why we pull batch tickets on every truck delivered to a site. I'm pro union, but don't be dicks.

as long as that’s the precedent set here, and not any loss of revenue incurred during a strike a company can sue the union to recoup.

The case hasn’t even gone to trial. The issue in front of SCOTUS wasn’t about the merits of the claim by the concrete company, it was whether the state court acted properly in dismissing the case in its infancy. It is possible that it could be dismissed later on, or held up to allow the labor board to rule on it. But there is good reason it was 8-1, the state court really made an inappropriate move by dismissing it at the point it did.

 

Employees who intentionally destroy materials are not protected by labor law. Economic damage caused by not showing up to work is.
