Unions are meant to be busted (by managers with baseball bats)
Really, that’s what my professor told the class: you go after them with baseball bats. Beforehand, however, you must become allies with the local police, who will then guard your home from retaliation.
Other methods for busting the union involve inciting a strike and then hiring enough scabs to have the union decertified, bankrupting one of your subsidiaries–which allows a judge to void your collective bargaining agreement–or, finally, going offshore.
In preparation for a strike, it’s important to be near rails, where you can transport goods during a trucker’s strike. Another transportation method is to use non-unionized, private trucking companies. They are very expensive, and your striking union workers will likely slash their tires. However, the private truckers often carry guns.
That’s all from one class.
