Megs Party Supplies and Addisons Authentic German Beer Steins operate out of the same warehouse. Addisons employees

Question:

Meg’s Party Supplies and Addison’s Authentic German Beer Steins operate out of the same warehouse. Addison’s employees are unionized and are engaged in a legal strike seeking to change their hours of employment and overtime pay. They have set up a picket line along the public sidewalk adjacent to the warehouse parking lot. Meg’s employees are not unionized but are refusing to come to work because they do not want to cross the picket line. Delivery trucks bringing party supplies to Meg’s business have been slowed down near the loading dock by Addison’s employees, who have blocked the thoroughfare. In some instances, Addison’s employees have yelled at the truck drivers and banged on the doors and roofs of their trucks with stainless steel beer mugs when truckers have tried to bypass the picket line. As a consequence of their discomfort with the picketing behaviour, a number of drivers have refused to deliver to the warehouse. This, in conjunction with a number of late deliveries and the worker shortage because of the picketing, has caused Meg to be late in filling some party supply orders. She has also lost a number of lucrative contracts. Having nothing to do with Addison’s labour dispute, Meg thinks someone should have to pay for her contractual woes and would like to sue to recover her lost money. Meg has come to you, as a member of her risk management service providers, for advice. Whom can she sue and on what grounds?
