NEW: This Supreme Court case could devastate workers’ right to strike.

If wealthy corporations get their way, companies would be able to sue workers for the cost of a strike — like spoiled food, lost revenue, and more.

It would be a massive setback for the working class.

    how exactly do you sue all the people you pay to do work for you...for simply not doing work for you? like what, the antimatter equivalent of a class action lawsuit where one corporate entity is able to sue hundreds to thousands of people en masse? You wanna garnish their wages so they'll just...quit? or is this just to be able to sue whatever union represented the striking workers?

      In the US, union leaders are frequently held as directly responsible for the actions of their unions. So they'd probably go after union leadership.
