Reply to comment by xabhax in Tesla Workers Announced a Union Drive. The Next Day They Were Fired. by psychothumbs
I said "Tesla" and not Elon intentionally. If he's got enough bandwidth to be the CEO of several companies, he's not really involved in any of them. Plus his current shiny thing is getting more people on Twitter to see his posts.

Tesla isn't dumb. I'm sure their HR consulted their lawyers and evaluated the risk.
But I'm positive that benefits of the chilling effect sacking a few pro-union employees had were far greater than whatever pittance they would pay to the NLRB and those employees were to Tesla.
Think of how expensive a union drive would be to a company that's already plummeting in value. I don't think the NLRB can just step in and shut down a company either.

Because of the SUPPORT GUARANTEE.
I genuinely think this is the reason. Companies don't want to assume risk so they'll go with anything that has contractual support.

All oracle support will do is read the requirements for running their software back to you.

Yeah now you gotta pay them to use Java and have support* or use Redhat.
*Support not guaranteed or of any particular value
