I think you're right, but they have ways to do it. They'd simply shut down the plant in it's entirety, and open another warehouse far away. They can dress it up as "operational inefficiencies" or "poor location for shipping" etc. The fact the workers were going to unionize? Oh, just a coincidence! We were already planning to shut down our Alabama location anyway.
- maxerickson 6y agoI would expect that tactic to still require that they give the workers at the facility shutting down similar opportunities to what they have given other employees in the past in similar situations.
- edmundsauto 6y agoIt's a pretty easy loophole: offer workers their jobs at a different location with no relocation benefits. Most warehouse workers aren't going to take them up on it.
- oarabbus_ 6y agoAnd drive a 50+ mile commute daily? None of the workers are going to take them up on that "offer".
