Chipotle got in trouble for closing a store and blacklisting the workers from applying to jobs at the new and other store. That's different.

- tedivm 4y agoHonestly digging into the case a bit more I think the original claim that the store can shut down is actually wrong. The case (United Textile Workers v. Darlington Manufacturing Co) said that it was okay for the business to close their entire business, but it also said they'd violate labor law by shutting down part of their operations to chill union activity. It seems like that's exactly what's happening in these cases- it's not like Chipotle or Starbucks is completely going out of business. * https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/UnitedTextileWorkersvDarlingtonMfgCo380US26385SCt99413LEd2d82758L?doc_id=X5C65J https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/UnitedT...
- richbell 4y agoIsn't that functionally the same though? They're acting in bad faith by closing a store to avoid fair negotiations. It's a move that's meant to punish the workers for unionizinf and have a chilling effect for unionization efforts at other locations.
