What is with the zeal to step up and find some scenario you think might apply here? Is this some kind of tacit effort to excuse what they did?
You can read right in my comment that a union was forming and magically the most profitable location in our city closed under the public guise of not being profitable. And then opening up as soon as the wind blew over, right next door to the original?
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not trolling and you're just trying to have a lively discussion, but it couldn't be more inappropriate for the situation.
There's nothing wrong with looking at a situation with nuance and exploring different potential causes... I agree, your take is likely the correct one, but why shut down discussion entirely?
Class war. Your attempts at discussion are exactly what the other side relies on. Show some solidarity and acknowledge the fact that organized labor is a threat to profits because profits are stolen labor.
Don't think about it, trust me. Words to live by.
Why not welcome open debate? And then make your points rationally known, clearly you have an answer to the multi-factor analysis. Unionization is important it should happen, it should happen across multiple stores at the same time, to prevent shutting down a single location.
Don't think about class war? Lol yeah that's exactly the issue with your point of view.
Frankly it's just sea lioning. There's no good faith discussion happening here just excuses to try to explain away heinous behavior by a corporation to undermine workers rights.
