Rich pedophiles really will close entire stores, losing 100% of profits from them, rather than let them unionize, losing potentially 5% of profits short-term.
100% of profits from 3 stores vs the risk of all their employees in the entire company having leverage for all future compensation negotiations.
Unions have proven to increase productivity and overall profits.
Yeah, it's about power and control, not money. Companies don't want employees challenging their power structure. Employees are cogs to them, and cogs don't get a say in what machine they are crushed in.
