Yes low life's do that sometimes,but there are limits to that as well,if they closed down the store specifically not to deal with the Union. That is not bargaining in good faith. Company's have been slapped down for it in the federal courts,I don't know about how Wisconsin state courts handle it.I'm aware of a retailer who had all non-union stores. When the union was voted in at one store the company closed that store and then opened a new store two hundred miles away.
If the company bargained in good faith,and the unions demands could not be satisfied,and they showed that it could not function then a company can shut the doors,and move on. Ive seen Unions take wage concessions in contracts already won so the employer could bid a huge contract,and employ more Union workers,if the Union had not conceded the company would have laid off,or closed.
