Maybe having some laws that if a company decides to close a business after unionization then any remaining Canadian company assets are taxed at a rate to pay a reasonable living wage to those displaced. The alternative being complete withdrawal from the country.
I made a similar comment in another thread about this.
Anytime something like this happens where it is clear that they are doing it for a specific reason (regardless of whatever garbage excuse they make) they should be required to pay at a bare minimum one years salary to every employee at their current or a higher rate to offset the loss of their job due to corporate greed.
I also think the CEO should be arrested, and fuck it, while we're at it, any shares that they have in the company should be sold off and either given to the employees in an even split, or given to local unions and programs that support the local workforce.
Fuck these greedy ass little bitches and their investors. Tank their fucking stock and throw them in jail.
The smartest part of this comment is “and their investors”. The CEO makes us mad be he is a distraction. This behaviour is driven by the desire to increase return for investors. The CEO is just one of them. The company has to do what investors want. This is probably what they want.
We cannot “tank the stock” unless we sell it. So, again, this is an action by investors.
Unless you just want something to be mad about, stay focussed on the actual problem.
