Almost everyone agrees that what the union did was wrong. But the problem is how the court seems to have (according to some people) diminished the role of NLRB, which is the appropriate forum for resolving such disputes. From the article:
Also, I am not sure this was criminal conduct. Any sources for that? In any case, the court's ruling was about the tort lawsuit and not about any criminal conduct.
