Their playbook on this is typical, and predictable. They're attacking each of these union campaigns locally, knowing that they can ride out the clock on those most impacted (the workers), and only settle for each incident in what is a massive, coordinated anti-union campaign. The fact that the NRLB can't or won't act on that at a national level is super frustrating to watch.

Step 2 profit

Step 3 pay a fine that is a small proportion of what you made in step 2

Step 4 invest in lobbyists

Repeat
