Should Union Strikers Be Allowed To Destroy Employer Property

[OKTexas]

They walked off the job on strike. Their trucks were still spinning, so the scabs were able to empty them out. Not a single truck was damaged. The contents were lost, I guess because the scabs couldn't actually deliver the product. How this got to the USSC suggests that all of the lower courts ruled against the company.

Up jump the supremes to lean on the unions. That's what a good, hard right-wing court does.

Once they loaded their trucks, they should have delivered the load, I guess you have no clue what a load of concrete costs.

Around $1,200.

Anyone with a lick of common sense can see it. I guess that's why it rules you out.

Still waiting on the link of the 25 million people rioting

Doesn't the company 'get wind' of the pending strike? Don't they know exactly when it will take place beforehand? Of course they do. Should the union workers have striked at 3:00a?

No, the union didn't tell the company when the strike would start. Nor did they display reasonable precautions to avoid known damage to company property.

Never said 25 million people rioted. I said 25 million people called them "mostly peaceful protesters".

Then back up that claim.

We will be happy to wait

Violence between unions and employers is not new. Ask any coal miners in West virginia and you will likely hear stories about all the brutal attacks that coal company used to make against union workers. Even private security companies like the pinkertons Paid their bills in the early days by Strike breaking and Assassinating union leaders.

You wish.

I looked it up.

I looked it up.

Apologies you're right, it's come down about 40% from a couple of years ago.

with no repercussions? Apparently most of the left seem to think so. But not the US Supreme Court.

Supreme Court sides with cement mixing company over striking workers in latest blow to unions

The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with a cement mixing company that seeks to bypass federal labor law and sue a union in state court for the destruction of property caused by striking workers.

From my personal viewpoint I actually am happy to see union workers destroying property during protests. I see the greedy corporations as "Lucifer" and they deserved what they had coming to them.

So, to be clear, you are for violence if it furthers your objective?

No but it's gonna happen no matter what. And both sides hold blame.

Do you also approve of strikers committing murder, like they did during the Greyhound strikes of 1983 and 1990? Leftist scum.

Then shouldn't we call for it to stop and hold those doing it accountable?

Property destruction is against the law. That being said I will forever take the side of the employees vs employer in any strike Any patriot would do the same.

Again, would you condone murder like what happened during the Greyhound strikes?

LOL. When Trump says to fight light hell he is said to incite insurrectionists.

You weren't supposed to notice that.

That's dumb. There are cases where worker demands would bankrupt the company and no one would have a job.
