A ruling by the United States Supreme Court has lowered the threshold for companies to sue labour unions over property damage that occurs during strikes, continuing a trend of rulings unfavourable to organised labour.In Thursday’s 8-1 ruling, the nation’s highest court reversed a lower court ruling that had blocked a lawsuit brought by a concrete seller in Washington state, Glacier Northwest, against the local affiliate of a labour union.The lawsuit argued that Glacier Northwest sustained losses during a 2017 strike that forced the company to discard unused product: wet concrete that could have damaged the trucks carrying it.
