The article states that the only way the company could remain competitive in Illinois was to offset the anti-competitiveness of the state through cuts in their workers pay and benefits.
And that is basically the reaping of the whirlwind for all the years of stupidity that the Illinois voter has inflicted upon themselves.
With all of Harry Reid’s so-called clout, why didn’t those jobs come to Nevada, huh Harry?

I’m no labor lawyer, but if what you suggest is done, the present union could sue for major damages and the NLRB, who is fully owned and operated by the unions, but is staffed and funded by the Federal government, as an “Arbiter over labor disputes”, would come down very hard on the company. In essence it is illegal to do what you say. It was tried in the coal fields in southern West Virginia. The result was a war between coal operators and unionizers and eventually the U.S. Army. Socialism won out, and unions have become malignant bullies ever since.
Socialism is a cancer that must be removed, even if it takes off a limb. Unions are a polyp of socialism located in the colon.
How long before rumors start that Olin's ammo is defective? Better they shut down now, take the hit, and get that MS plant up and running ASAP. Probably cheaper than an ad campaign saying "Really, folks, our ammo WON'T blow up your gun!"
LOL, and in an ammunition plant...
These union people are stupid. Companies aren’t bluffing anymore. They need to stay in business, and won’t let the unions kill them like they did the steel and coal industry. To many other states want these corporations to re-locate, and are providing whatever incentives are necessary to make it happen.
