CastletonSnob Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 In blow to unions, Supreme Court rules company can pursue strike damage claim WWW.NBCNEWS.COM The ruling means Glacier Northwest Inc. can sue over its claim that wet concrete loaded onto trucks was rendered useless after workers walked off the job.

Guest Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Makes sense, but it feels like we're seeing a lot more random bullshit in front of the supreme court lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I don't think their case load/types are significantly different than in the past. We just care a lot more now because the crazies outnumber the non crazies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
