Today the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Glacier NW, Inc. v. Int’l Bhd. of Teamsters — a case that could weaken one of the most effective bargaining tools available to workers: The right to strike. In 2017, cement truck drivers — union members of Teamsters Local 174 — went on strike against Glacier NW during contract negotiations. Glacier NW alleges that striking drivers intentionally sabotaged operations and should be held liable for all economic losses.

They’re taking a sledgehammer to every principle & precedent of the last century that had been moving us slowly toward a society where women, POC, LGBTQ+, religious minorities & others had a shot at equality.
