    If the company tells the union to fuck off, all of the workers who belong to that union walk off the job and the employer has to run short handed or shut down production.

    The union is the workers joining together so that they have more bargaining power - all the people who know how the business works are sitting idle. Can the business afford to replace and retrain them all?
