Prosecutors said the grocer spread “false and misleading information” about the union and punished workers for trying to wear union pins.

    Has any substantial penalty ever been imposed on these companies that blatantly violate labor law or are they able to absorb whatever fines they get as the ‘cost of doing business’, saving themselves money in the long run over what they’d have to pay in compensation if they had a strong union to bargain against?

    I wish this didn’t feel like a rhetorical question, but I am afraid I know the answer already. They do it because it works often enough.

    I hope TJ workers keep up the fight and change the narrative, 4 stores so far and hopefully more to come.
