There's probably no law against it either.

Would be a shame if no one shopped there ever again

I guess business owners don’t like being forced to hire people

Natanael ,

The person had already been hired, then his rights were violated by the business owner

Kalysta ,

Are you serious about this?

The business owner stole from his employees, and when they unioized and sued him to stop the theft, he destroyed his business rather than pay them what he owed.

Are you really on the side of a theif and liar??

The new business is called Thunder Bay, located in Columbus, WI, if anyone wants to leave a review.

Need to tear them a new one on glassdoor too.

Kalysta ,

Careful. Glassdoor is no longer anonymous and will share your info with former employers.

Why?

(No really)

JoMiran ,

If you are going to do dick moves, do them with C corporations. Because C corps are independent entities, you can better maintain an "arm's length" relationship.

At that point just burn it down.

Unionization WAS the alternative to killing the factory owner in front of his wife and kids.

So you shut down your business, even if the courts decide "technically correct" on rehiring, your old business is still on the hook for back wages.

"shutting down" doesn't magically absolve you of financial obligations.

Hate to break it to you, but it often does. Something might be able to be done in this case becsuse it was so blatant.

For this guy using LLCs it definitely won't.

But if somebody like Walmart / J&J do it with a subsidiary they guaranteed get away with it.

It was recently brought to my attention, while being attacked for being part of a union and owning an EV, that the problem with America is employers treating employees too well.

Punch that person in the face and tell them you're welcome. If you have a full bladder, piss on their shoes as well.
