You all are arguing that destroying company property is ok as long as its considered union activity?

What in the world.

It was an 8-1 decision not a 6-3 or 5-4

The issue is, where do you draw the line for what qualifies as "destroying company property"? The case itself was about concrete truck drivers who let their concrete harden, wasting it. In the lawsuit itself, they specifically say "we took measures so no trucks were damaged, but the concrete was wasted".

So now you have a precedent that companies can say "oh no, we have veggies/concrete/anything perishable, if you strike--it will be wasted and you'll be 'destroying company property'".

That's the entire point of a strike, dude! You point out "hey, if we don't work, your business literally fails".
