Good! Give the blood sucking unions what they want and deserve.......UNEMPLOYMENT!
Close the company.
Lay off the union idiots.
Start a new company in the same building, under a different name.
Done.

Hang in there, unions! Don’t give an inch to those corporate criminals!
Signed, denydenydeny, longtime Inky hater
