Unpopular opinion- Maybe that store really wasn’t that profitable- super high rent location, tons of competition in close vicinity, serves as a public restroom for half the shoppers in the Old Port, perpetual staffing issues due to city-wide housing costs… etc
Unionization is a double edged sword that can sometimes take a small business or franchise down.
Not knocking the concept of fair treatment of workers, nor unions in general, but a business needs to make a profit or else why would anyone own one

Companies spend inordinate amounts of money, time, and effort to prevent unions from forming. That’s all the evidence I need that they are beneficial to the worker.
The company could have put those millions towards their employees, but they’d rather just shut them down and keep them hungry.

Companies spend an inordinate amount of time and money ridding the workplace of rats and cockroaches. According to your logic, that means that rats and cockroaches are beneficial to the worker.
That’s a cheeky response, I know, but the fact is, there are pros and cons to unionization of labor, it’s certainly not always good for the workers. Try googling the pros snd cons of labor unions for a balanced viewpoint on the subject.

It is always good for the workers, whoever told you it was not was just playing on your ignorance to take advantage of you. I mean you did look at who was bankrolling all those "cons of unionization" articles right?
