    These companies actively make that unfeesable. They’d spend the extra money to close the location. Claim it was unprofitable. And hire all new ununionized staff elsewhere.

      How is that different that now? Everyone is out of a job, the warehouse is closed, and those jobs aren’t coming back.

        Yes, but now the owners get nothing either.

        And more importantly, the other owners of other companies have two brilliant examples of what can happen when you continue to fuck with workers: If you are lucky, workers will only burn all your shit to the ground. If you’re unlucky, you get Luigi’ed. EITHER WAY, THE NEXT BUSINESS OWNER WILL THINK TWICE ABOUT CUTTING WAGES AND FUCKING WITH WORKERS.

        That’s the benefit for all. You just have to be capable of thinking about someone other than yourself.

          The next owner will think twice about using American labor for sure, we can agree about that.

            I can’t tell if you’re being deliberately obtuse or if you’re just thick-headed.

            By chance are you a conservative?

        The massive amount of product lost and the perfectly good building destroyed?

        Like, the difference is the damage — it’s a very big spectacle and proof that all it takes is 1 person in the right place and you can cause massive damage. The Dems aren’t going to save you if you don’t scare them into saving you.

        If you unionize the location mysteriously becomes unprofitable and they have to shut it down leaving everyone without a job. If you burn it down, the location closes leaving everyone without a job. But costing the bastards who can’t spare the profit to pay their workers a fair wage Millions. The arrangements of the unions was never please please Mr Boss Man can we be allowed to live too. It was paying us a fair wage or you might wake up dead in your own bed.
