    Dude caused half a billion in damage. Insurance companies are going to be forced to evaluate the risk of underpaying workers going forward.

    I’m pro union but you really need to look up the history of unions friend.

      Whether they pay workers more or not, they need to worry about arson, so they’ll solve that problem first by imposing draconian security measures. Once they solve that problem, underpaying workers is no longer a problem for them.

      I’m a history buff. The NLRA is why unions work now where before there was a lot of labor-related violence.

        The only way to solve that problem is to eliminate workers entirely or pay them such that they aren’t incentivized to use their access to sabotage operations.

        Everyone is politely explaining this to you. Try listening. You clearly have not done the homework we assigned you.

          As I’ve already explained, the only way to solve that problem is security measures. Even if they pay people well, that doesn’t stop a disgruntled or temporarily insane employee from destroying the warehouse.

          Collective bargaining extracts as much value out of the employer as the employer gets from placing the warehouse in that location.
