Don't be stupidly obvious about your union busting is what I read.
Super cautious on my optimism here... Anyone care to weigh in on how this new ruling might play out on the ground floor? Im genuinely curious.
Union busting is already illegal, and corporations have been getting away with it the entire time because there is essentially zero enforcement 99% of the time, and even in the rare cases where there is enforcement the penalties are 1/1000th the cost of unionisation. There's no reason this will change.
I imagine proving union "busting" intent is also very difficult, as they use various tactics that could be considered standard practice in the eyes of the law (e.g. closing stores).
