In the same paragraph, "Teamsters president Sean O’Brian said that the ruling will not impact the Teamsters’ striking efforts."

So, how much does this really affect anything?

Because there are more unions than just the teamsters?

Yeah, this is pretty cut and dry for teamsters, but what about... anyone else?

Yes I saw that too, I wonder how this will play out with the ruling. This quote is very concerning:

>That sets a precedent that if a union strikes, it has to ensure the company won't lose any money.

The whole point of a strike is to force profits of a company to go down so they will be able to be serious at the table.
