The ruling means Glacier Northwest Inc. can sue over its claim that wet concrete loaded onto trucks was rendered useless after workers walked off the job.
Fun fact I learned about the show squid game that was probably lost on most of the western audience (myself included):
The steel worker strike the main character participated in was very real, but not only were the workers brutalized and broken physically, the courts actually ruled they be held liable for the whole thing and a lot of them were left with the equivalent of literal millions they owned in restitution. Many of them either committed suicide and/or divorced their wives to protect their families from their debt.
That is almost certainly the actual source of the main characters debt. His "poor life decisions" which got him to the games were the result of him daring to stand up and fight for his fellow workers.
That yes, and also a lot of the strikers were apparently blacklisted. His ability to have employment to even service the debt was heavily impacted...because the actual goal for the strikers was to be punitive and destroy their lives for daring to stand up. Gambling was basically one of the only avenues left.

So yeah....That.
Which also makes sense why he would turn to gambling. A real job would never pay enough to pay the debt back. But one lucky win...
