The Supreme Court will hear a dispute between the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and a concrete company in Washington state that labor advocates say could weaken workers’ rights if the ruling goes against the union.

The case before the justices on Tuesday centers on an incident in which members of Teamsters Local 174 went on strike after negotiations broke down over a new collective bargaining agreement.When truck drivers walked off the job, the company says some of the concrete already in the process of being delivered was rendered useless. Drivers returned trucks to the company’s facility, some of which had partial or full loads on board.

The Washington Supreme Court ruled against the union in December 2021, saying that any concrete loss was “incidental to a strike arguably protected by federal law.” Glacier is represented by Noel Francisco, who served as solicitor general during the Trump administration. He wrote in court papers that federal law does not protect"the intentional destruction of property" or"strike-related conduct that fails to include reasonable precautions to protect employer property, much less deliberately destroys it."

Where is the news on Biden's classified documents!!!

Where is your moral outrage over BIDEN'S Stolen Classified Documents Stored in an Office he had abandoned? Your hypocracy and political bias is exposed. We want to see the Pictures of the Documents by Politically Corrupt DOJ. Biden committed a Felony and Should be Impeached FACT.

A union needs to be held responsible for its actions same as the Company.

They've destroyed womans rights, are itching to take away the rights of minorities and the LGBT community, why not trash unions next. Back to the fields for our toiling, peasants.
