Its vandalism but it is also easy to mitigate the damages...all it takes is a large amount of sugar dumped in the mixer. It won’t allow the concrete to harden in the truck. The concrete will be ruined but the trucks will live to see another day.

Government made a deal with the Mafia for them to control the Unions, instead of allowing the Communists to run them.

Presumably it has the same name as the dog of President Trump’s accuser.

Jackson was the only dissenter. “

Jackson is the worst appointee in a century, maybe ever. At least Ruth could use a principled argument for her extreme rulings. Leave it to Biden to make race the criterium for a SC Justice appointment

I remember hearing that many years ago, on a field trip to a concrete plant. Supposedly it only takes about 10 pounds of sugar to keep a full load from hardening, but it has to be mixed throughout.

The guy who told us that also told of someone who jackhammered a lot of dried concrete out of a mixer drum and lost all of his hearing permanently.

Company can pursue strike damage claim

Good idea gets people to the table for talks instead of the childish acts and it save money.

Time is money for all work or get the hell out of the way.

They recorded a 2.7 Richter seismic disturbance this morning in Northern NJ centered on the north end zone of Giants stadium in the Meadowlands.

“I bet if Jimmy Hoffa was still alive, he would be spinning in his grave.”

?

I had to read a few times to make sure I got it correct.

There’s aa joke to be made with that statement for sure, but I’m not clever enough to think of one.

Does that moron Jackson even know what wet concrete does if left to set in a truck?

If he was alive, how could he “spin in his grave?”

“which a cement truck has plenty of space to mount”

Space isn’t the issue. Weight is the issue. Drop a few tons of battery on a truck that is designed for a certain carrying capacity, and you are either going to have to reduce the amount it can carry, or give it more horsepower. More horsepower means a bigger motor, and an even bigger battery, and so on...

Well, a lot of people buy their plot while they are alive. So maybe he went to visit it to get his money’s worth.

You are aware that an awful lot of quarry trucks are already hybrids with electric final drive, right?

The motor doesn’t necessarily have to be bigger to give more power - but it will get more expensive. The correct question to ask isn’t “how big will a truck have to be to equal the capability of a current cement truck” as they can be the same size and have the same capabilities - the correct question is “How expensive is that truck going to be?”

Myrddin, thank you for the details of your experience.

USSC Justice Jackson dissenting . . . writes that "arguably-protected conduct" by strikers, is the province of the NLRA (National Labor Relations Administration) regulations. That regulating, she writes, was "entrusted" to the NLRA by the Congress.

And in general, prior to the Glacier Northwest Inc v IBT case decided today, June 1, 2023, a maze of state level proceedings plus the NLRA regulations, suffice at cornering matters of "strike conduct" prior to such matters being elevated to the US Supreme Court.

In my view, Justice Jackson asserts that the NLRA regulations are sufficiently complex to exhaustively filter and trap strike conduct matters - and that ministry should not be opened to juducial examination of specific strike conduct matters. J. Jackson writes:

"The court evaluates the existing evidence and the law for a specific reason: to determine whether the lawsuit attacks arguably-protected conduct such that entertaining the legal action will interfere with the Board’s prerogative to develop the facts and adjudicate the merits of the dispute as part of the Board’s broader authority to develop national labor law."

(pg. 9 of J. Jackson's dissent, among the decisions)

“Reagan had a plan for Russia and it worked, probably a plan he had been working on almost his entire life, from his economics degree in 1932, his 6 terms as Union president after the war and during the early Cold War days, and testifying before Congress on Communism as a union president, actions resulting in him carrying a gun, and leading California during the height of the 60s.”
