Why can't they just replace the union workers with non-union workers and keep the place open. I am sure there are people ready to step in and take their place. Is it / could it be that easy?
The failure is due to mismanagement of a corporation over decades, not a recent union strike. They have been losing market share since the 80's, and instead of changing how they come to market, changing the product, or a host of other options, they blew their cash reserves attempting to gobble up competitors.
but hey, instead of talking about the truth, lets parrot conservative talking points, blame the unions, and take pop shots at liberals!
