Rich pedophiles really will close entire stores, losing 100% of profits from them, rather than let them unionize, losing potentially 5% of profits short-term.

100% of profits from 3 stores vs the risk of all their employees in the entire company having leverage for all future compensation negotiations.

Unions have proven to increase productivity and overall profits.
