Didnt they get the injunction literally a few days before they were supposed to start? After the workers gave reasonable notice and invited a counter offer? Why didnt they get the injunction immediately? How can a worker be "unlawfully poached" again? Non competes are illegal in the vast majority of cases without consideration involved.
