The Spin

Right narrative

This ruling sets a precedent that unions can't evade responsibility for taking deliberately harmful actions. Had SCOTUS ruled against Glacier Northwest, the court would've been granting immunity to union bosses from state lawsuits, even when ordering the deliberate destruction of property.

Daily Caller

Left narrative

SCOTUS' decision is the latest in a string of cases suppressing the right to organized labor. The ruling risks opening unions to a barrage of lawsuits from employers, effectively stifling union freedoms and eventually bankrupting workers.
