Supreme Court sides with concrete company in union damages case.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a concrete company seeking to revive a lawsuit against the International Brotherhood of Teamsters alleging that a strike damaged its product. The ruling means the company can pursue a lawsuit against the union in state court over an August 2017 strike in which drivers walked off the job, leaving wet concrete in their trucks. The decision could stifle strike actions by putting unions on the hook for a broad range of potential losses employers can face as a result of such activities.
