We were advised at this point to say nothing that can be construed as “hostile or intimidating” to a union vote. Our lawyers said that means “just shut up, and don’t let your emotions get the best of you”.
We were advised not to take it personal (which is hard to do), and to look at it strictly from a business sense, column A to column B, etc.
It takes a special person to be a lawyer, I think there must be a fine line between lawyer and serial killer. Very hard to not bring emotion and feelings into things like this.
So, we are just shutting up for now, meeting with our accounting team next week as well, and taking their advice, we will make our decisions based on economics. Which in a way is comforting, because I can justify shutting us down, with no hard feelings.
If our guys are voting union, and saying “it’s not personal” then we can be justified in closing the doors and saying “it’s not personal”.
For some reason, there is merit to my lawyers argument.
I will have more updates next week I reckon.
