Pottery Barn rules apply to walkouts. In an 8-1 decision in which only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fully dissented, the Supreme Court ruled today that unions have to reimburse employers for damages caused by striking workers. The National Labor Relations Act does not confer immunity to unions or workers — the latest ruling from a court that has stiffened the boundaries for labor activities in the last few years:
I don't care how "critical" to my business you think you are. If you break my shit in the midst of a union orchestrated temper tantrum, don't bother staying on the picket line because if and when the rest of you thugs and I come to an understanding, I'll never pay you another dime.
I'll close up shop and reorganize somewhere else before I'll do business with growed up spoiled brats who have no respect for jack shit.
