Supreme Court decisions impact labor unions and right to strike.
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court ruled against unionized drivers who walked off the job with their trucks full of wet concrete, stating that the union failed to take reasonable precautions to protect the company's concrete when the drivers went on strike. The lone dissenter, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, said the ruling would hinder the development of labor law and "erode the right to strike." The decision united liberal and conservative justices in labor's latest loss at the high court.
