SCOTUS Sides With Company Over Union

If I am reading this correctly.....
Evidently the drivers walked away from the cement trucks leaving them loaded which caused damage.
The company on turn tried to sue the union for this action. The union attempted to prevent being held responsible for the damage caused by them and the union drivers
Taking the case all the way to SCOTUS which ruled 8 to 1 in favor if the company.

The article seems to indicate that the ruling will effect other unions. Personally I do not believe it will. Because damaging company property might be done occasionally by individuals it is rarely sanctioned by organized labor.
