U.S. Supreme Court poised to give companies new power to sue over strikes

By Hassan Kanu

(Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court appears set to deliver on another longstanding conservative policy goal in its first major labor law case this term, with a ruling that could hobble workers’ right to strike, amid a resurgence of worker organizing and a cost-of-living crisis.

The justices decided on Oct. 4 to consider whether businesses can sue unions in state court for the economic consequences of strikes and other employee protests, like spoiled products.

1. Let's be clear the fascists are trying to bring back indentured servitude.

Workers striking is a First Amendment right.

They don't have to work for less pay, poor working conditions or safety concerns. They make their grievances known to the employer and they negotiate the terms of employment. If the employer is unreasonable they strike. They notify that employer before the strike happens, if the employer chooses not to rectify the issue, it's on them!

Any other way, will be a lead up to indentured servitude.
