In reply to the discussion: Anyone notice the supremes ruling 8-1 yesterday on companies can sue striking workers. [View all]Bluethroughu
(5,795 posts)Didn't have a day of work any different than any other day, pouring concrete. They had a strike planned because the company wouldn't negotiate with them. They didn't finish the job because that's what happens when you strike.
This ruling will be the beginning of the judicial strike breakers bleeding unions and workers dry! Workers will be afraid to assert their collective power because not only could they lose their job, but they can be sued for damages a company says they caused.
Poor ruling in my opinion and Justice Brown-Jackson could see this case for what it is and will become.
Corporations are persons, ball of tissues are persons but persons working to support families and themselves are now owned by corporations, judicial proxy. This ruling will be abused.
