So they would've just fired the union, no? Do unionise, but at a certain point you can't protect yourself without socialism.
There's legal protections against retaliating against unions. How much teeth those protections have will vary wildly, but there are protections that do exist
You cant just fire a union, legally. Thats part of why you make them
Relevant law for Washington USA where Bungie is: https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=49.36
You can't fire someone explicitly for being in a union, but you can still fire the union. If they fired the whole team, there's no power left with the union. They can't sue for being punished for forming a union, and they can't threaten to quit or strike in solidarity, because the company doesn't plan to keep any of them.
