    In some mythological sane world unions would be mandated in every industry… but even in a less shitty world than ours this should result in firing and jailing of the person who directly decided to fire this person and the CEO. Maybe 10 years and seize all their assets and properties. Also fine the company 5% of its entire estimated value (calculated by some agency and not based on any bullshit accounting tricks. Just straight up add all their assets up, cut 5% off, fuck em).

    And yes this IS intended to destroy companies who do this. Kind of being nice if anything since it effectively gives them multiple fuckups before they probably go under- for which all the executive officers would be personally financially responsible. Capitalists should have all their property and assets seized, but barring that, if the hypothetical leaders are too liberal, this would be an effective long term way of destroying them. Or letting them destroy themselves anyway since they’re all criminal scum who couldn’t resist the greed even if it meant their utter destruction.

    Unfortunately in reality nothing will happen besides maybe a juicy civil suit but not nearly enough to actually correct for the firing nor enough to force the company to never even think about this again. The law is unenforceable basically if it doesn’t cause the destruction of the ones who break it and the dissolution of the company who allow it. It’s just a fee for them to pay to then be able to squash unions. Shithole country.

      Yeah. Whoever gave the order to fire these people and those who actuated it (if different) should go to jail. Corporations for whatever batshit reason are constantly treated with kids gloves. They’ll only ever get fined most of the time. Yet, corporations are just groups of individuals. Some individual (or individuals) gave this order. They should be arrested.

      This shouldn’t be civil, it should be criminal. If spray painting a statue can get people arrested, so too should illegally firing them (especially in a way like this, which is extremely bad for workers rights as a whole).
