The way to solve this is union busting needs to be a criminal offense.

As far as I know they’re civil penalties and not criminal.
The only way this stops is sending people to prison.
I’m not a union person myself, nor do I want to be but companies unfairly try to smash legal unions activities.
They get a smack on the hand, a fine but the union is smashed.
Do you think the ceo would allow illegally activity or even questionable if he was looking at twenty years in prison ?

we should name and shame these consultants
make their lives fucking miserable
show them what it's like when their job makes them suffer.
