Portland Cement Concrete has four ingredients: coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, Portland cement, and water. I guess you could say that the aggregates are the fruit. The peeve is calling concrete 'cement'.
The drivers of the trucks should have went and delivered the concrete and then after they got back to the yard they could begin walking the picket line. Until they deliver the concrete they have a duty to deliver a perishable product. OR the union should have notified the company they time the strike would commence so there would have been no spoilage of the product. The union could have begun the strike at 6am and then there would have been no spoilage. But since they decided to strike later in the morning, after the trucks were loaded, they are responsible for the consequences of their actions. The union has the right to strike, but does not have the right to injure the company. The union should pay the company for 16 loads of concrete plus the expense of drivers time and useage of the trucks for that time period. Chump change for the union to pick up, but they will fight like a pitbull to not have to pay it, on principle, of course.
Cement is to concrete as flour is to fruitcake. Just an engineering peeve of mine. The only one I hate more is people referring the US as a democracy.
...mine is calling an engine a "motor"....
...doggy winks....

What what is comparable to the fruit in the fruitcake?

...there are several "layers" to this story...
...your observation is valid and well stated....
Honestly striking is something coordinated by communists. I'm a fan of labor laws but only communists want to disrupt supply chains
...striking also disrupts the Dark State....
...the enemy of my enemy is my friend.....

Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston
That's a hard one. The great awakening isn't found in employees vs their employer.
On the other hand, if it stops folks from striking, that could be something. Indirectly.
...this is a test of how "conservative" the conservative judges are....
...are they going to side with the people or the corporations?
...so I will have to disagree with you...
...this is a GAW concept....
