I don't believe anyone would say (at least with a straight face) that this strike wasn't intended to harm the people mentioned above, and if what Cynthetique said about the strike's legality is accurate, a strong case could be made.
(...Waiting for someone to say that suing corporations is good, but suing unions is bad. I can't tell the difference between the two anymore.)

A brooklyn Supreme Court Judge had authorized an injunction last week stipulating possible fines. He found the Union in contempt and is levying a $1million/day fine which is supposed to double each day that workers are on strike.
One construction worker was quoted with saying he couldn't make it to the job site and was replaced by someone who could 4 days before Christmas.
