That’s both amusing and sad.
I guess one has to look at the video to find out more.

I guess they want all of Philadelphia to look like Kensington Avenue.

Unionize and get ready to lose your jobs in unison.

Or, careful what you wish for.

I wouldn’t drink coffee that big gal with all the piercings cranks out. Yuck.

Why don’t these employees get together and buy the coffee shops? The employees don’t look too bright.

It would be a lesson to be on the side that has to pay the bills. They have no idea how a place like this works.

Seems pretty simple to me: If you don’t like your wages, get another job. If you’re not qualified for other jobs that are available, perhaps you need to invest in yourself and get a better skill set.

This is a perfect example of why unions need to be OUTLAWED. The report here was good, but what about the millions of other workers of this type presently being groomed? They won’t be told this, and my guess is that management can go to jail if they do tell them...so more and more shops shut down and the still-functioning parts of our cities begin to look like typical boarded-up UK cities.

Philly’s a union town. The local probably is happy they shut down three non-union businesses.

Watching the video all I can say is the baristas protesting remind me of the hippies/commies/deviants that were part of the 1970s drug culture - except today's version of "anti-Christian" and "anti-America" folks are 'woke' with a whole lot more body piercings and tattoos.

I'm wondering how many of those baristas vote republican? /s

One of the later women interviewed said they believed the owners could afford to pay everyone a few more dollars and hour.

Well, I get the owners thought that was not workable.

What was interesting to me was that it wasn’t the union that was the problem, but the added legals costs the union added that pushed it over the cliff, according to the man they interviewed.

In the context of free market laissez-faire capitalism, there are several reasons to oppose unions:

Market Distortion: Unions can artificially inflate wages and benefits beyond what a competitive market would naturally determine. This can lead to inefficiencies as businesses might have to increase prices to cover higher labor costs, ultimately harming consumers .

Reduced Flexibility: Unions often impose rigid work rules and resist changes in work practices. This can make it difficult for businesses to adapt quickly to market conditions, innovate, and optimize productivity .

Barrier to Entry: Unionization can increase the cost of entry for new businesses, which can stifle competition and innovation. By raising the labor costs, unions can deter new players from entering the market, leading to less competition and potentially higher prices for consumers .

Individual Freedom: Laissez-faire capitalism emphasizes individual choice and voluntary association. Compulsory union membership or closed shops can infringe on workers' freedom to choose whether or not to join a union, which goes against the principles of personal liberty and voluntary association central to free market ideals .

Economic Inefficiency: By protecting less productive workers and making it difficult to dismiss underperforming employees, unions can contribute to economic inefficiency. This can result in lower overall productivity and economic growth .

These factors together suggest that in a free market laissez-faire capitalist system, opposition to unions is rooted in the desire to maintain market efficiency, flexibility, competition, and individual freedom.

While unions served a purpose decades ago, they now do nothing more than raise the cost of everything they are associated with while providing little if any positives. They beg the question: “If unions are so great why don’t they establish their own enterprises and show us how great they are?” Unions exist primarily as a money laundering operation for the DNC, and source of largesse for “the connected”.
