  > would amazon just pull out of the area all together That's the defacto play, but, given that Biden is known to be quite pro-union, shutting down the warehouse might well have unintended consequences for Bezos.

  After shutting the warehouse, can Amazon immediately reopen a new one with new staff?

      I can provide links with information about what is illegal, how frequently it occurs, and some information on why it occurs. I'm not going to dig specifically for case law sources, though. https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-rights/employer-union-rights-and-obligations https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-right... https://www.epi.org/publication/unlawful-employer-opposition-to-union-election-campaigns/ https://www.epi.org/publication/unlawful-employer-opposition...
