Justice Jackson Voices Lone Dissent Against Supreme Court Attack on Right to Strike: 'Today, the Court falters,' Jackson wrote.
8-1 in favor of a concrete company and against its striking workers, in a decision progressive advocates called"de-facto union busting."
Glacier Northwest sued the Teamsters for damages in Washington state court, but the union argued that the suit conflicted with the National Labor Relations Act , which protects collective bargaining rights. The Washington State Supreme Court agreed with the workers, but the Supreme Court reversed this decision, meaning the lawsuit can proceed. Labor advocates worry that this decision could embolden other companies to file similar lawsuits against striking workers.
However, Jackson said the Court had historically deferred its judgment on labor cases involving a complaint pending with the NLRB, as in this case.
