At that point just burn it down.

Unionization WAS the alternative to killing the factory owner in front of his wife and kids.

Bleed the 1%

If you are going to do dick moves, do them with C corporations. Because C corps are independent entities, you can better maintain an "arm's length" relationship.

So you shut down your business, even if the courts decide "technically correct" on rehiring, your old business is still on the hook for back wages.

"shutting down" doesn't magically absolve you of financial obligations.

Hate to break it to you, but it often does. Something might be able to be done in this case becsuse it was so blatant.

For this guy using LLCs it definitely won't.

But if somebody like Walmart / J&J do it with a subsidiary they guaranteed get away with it.
