Even that eventually got struck down by the Supreme Court, after taking years and years of their sweet time to figure it out.

So in unionization disputes, employers can’t close a business location but employees can strike and close it?

You don't own your own labor....your home, your business, and even your children are all property of the totalitarian government.

I argue that there have been times when a union has a goal of closing a business with union activities. If not a goal, they are certainly indifferent to it. If a union manages to take out a business here and there, it would serve as a warning to other business to capitulate to their demands more readily. To the union, a closed business is just ‘collateral damage’ to the ultimate agenda.
