- tw04 3y agoPlease cite the “case law that is very clear in this”.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI did in another comment, you can just look at the wiki article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitdown_strike https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitdown_strike The case that sets the definitive answer is in 1939 by the Supreme Court: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLRB_v._Fansteel_Metallurgical_Corp https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLRB_v._Fansteel_Metallurgic.... It leaves wiggle little room to get anything out of this from the company being striked against.
- tw04 3y agoIt leaves a ton of wiggle room actually. Nothing in the story says the Google employees were trespassed and arrested. The case you cited says that the NRLB can’t force an employer to rehire a worker fired for breaking the law. Furthermore, it says absolutely nothing about the union itself protecting an employee, just the limits of the NRLB in forcing a worker to be rehired. Otherwise ya… no wiggle room.
- skissane 3y agoDo you really think, that if these employees won against Google in court, the current conservative SCOTUS majority would just let that ruling stand?
