This was an excuse for them to get rid of the pesky union forming troublemakers. Despicable.

    RTO is all about voluntary attrition to avoid having to pay severance. This shithead exec literally says the quiet part out loud in the article:

    “The team will be smaller than where we were before and where we want to be,” Arison said. “So that’ll obviously impact margin in a positive way in the near term. But I also think that shows that you can have a lot of leverage in this business because you don’t need that big of a team to do the things that we need to do.”
