I truly believe that the likes of Apple and co would gladly kill off 100k jobs and delay launches, if it means killing off union efforts.

I've been pondering this and I honestly am not sure... because I can see them being that scared of unionizing, but there's also the modern capitalist notion, especially in the tech sector, of endless growth. So would they delay launches when it could cost them revenue? I honestly do not know the answer here.

Obviously, I want the tech sector unionized. I just don't know what exactly Apple and the others would to to stop it. They would do something, and something very nasty. I'm just not sure about mass layoffs and delayed product launches.
