allegedly intentional
Regardless as https://www.eater.com/23575014/supreme-court-union-case-glacier-northwest-teamsters-starbucks-workers-united-explained https://www.eater.com/23575014/supreme-court-union-case-glac... point's out: in a lot of jobs prep is a required part of the job, so either you get fired for not doing your job or you get sued for losses from the strike.
- awildfivreld 3y agoI know there is a rather large culture difference, but here in Norway the unions announce the start time of the strike some time before the actual walkout, instead of "you're striking right now". If the employees here (and in the OP) did the same, they could start the strike by the end of one workday, so that no food/cement would be wasted as it it was never prepared. Is this not possible in the US? Or is this a case of increasing one-uppance as the relationship between companies and employees is _that bad_?
- waldothedog 3y agoThe scenario you describe in paragraph 2 is not out of the ordinary, but the tension you describe in paragraph 3 is certainly not out of the ordinary either
- rayiner 3y ago> Is this not possible in the US? Or is this a case of increasing one-uppance as the relationship between companies and employees is _that bad_? The latter. America is a low trust, high conflict society. You can argue about “who shot first” but labor relations in America has often escalated to violence by both sides.
- rayiner 3y agoYes, it’s allegedly intentional. That’s all it takes to initiate a lawsuit. The Supreme Court’s ruling was only that the lawsuit could proceed, not that the employer won. They still have to prove the allegations.
