So long as the only real consequence is a (small) fine, killing unions is just going to be a cost of business. See how Starbucks conveniently closes unionized locations not long after they organize due to "market forces".

Around here, Starbucks removed the anti-fatigue cushioned floor mats as a "safety and trip hazard"... ... they had a hard time explaining why they were only a hazard in stores that were in the process of unionizing.

It seems Starbucks has changed their tune after Schultz’s departure. (Not holding my breath however) But they’ve now said they’ll negotiate with the Starbucks union and pay back pay for all workers that were cut out of the pay hikes and credit card tipping they gave all their non-union workers as an FU to the union. The Majority Report did a short interview with one of the original Starbucks union organizers in the first store to unionize. https://www.youtube.com/live/bZ3zrH3aTM4?t=1840 https://www.youtube.com/live/bZ3zrH3aTM4?t=1840
