Why? Even if it goes through, they’ve already shown their colours.

A company with a union that has been tested is better than one with no union. I have no faith that other companies would be better unless forced.

Unions can make even horrible companies treat their workers with decency… Or at least pay them for the bad treatment. Shop union.

You misunderstand, I’m all for hiring them back. I’m saying that shouldn’t change his boycott of rockstar

I understood. I’m saying there’s a whole lot less reason to boycott if they become union

If they cave to the union and make this right, then I won’t care how nice they are. Them being forced to be nice matters a lot more.

They’re still a horrible company in many ways. Forcing them to be better in this one aspect doesn’t change the fact they’re shitty

I’m not boycotting them because they’re shitty. I’m boycotting in solidarity with their union.
