If an employer can afford a full strike of its human employees than there’s not much a union can do besides strike, sue, and lobby against it
how many employers (are there any??) can actually practically survive a full protracted strike and replace everyone fast enough that it doesnt put them severely in the hole if not outright killing their business.
customers will find a new source for what they relied on that company for and likely wont return
company will attract attention from politicians and lawyers wanting to get in on the action and train their targets on the company. This will likely produce law unfavorable to the company that becomes a new worse precedent for them possibly
You dont get to boss around robots or threaten loss of jobs to make localities and states and federal governments treat you favorably or gloss over your business’/personal crimes
