    A) That is union busting

    B) It’s fucking expensive, both in actual costs and lost revenue, to keep doing that. Eventually the company will realize they can’t afford it and stop, or they’ll go bankrupt.

    C) Being forced to recognize the union means you need to negotiate with the union. Which means you need to make a union contract. Which can include language about how closing down locations is handled. Or how opening up new locations is handled. Like, say, they can only hire new union workers. So they can close down 1 location, then they have to hire union anyway at the new location, so what’s the point?

    To be blunt, what you’re describing has exactly 0% chance of working out in the company’s favour over the long term. More than that, it has little chance of even working in the first place. It’s this absurd idea based in nothing.
