Either you or I (or both) are misunderstanding each other’s comment.

My point was exactly that. At a store by store level, the workers have much less power than Chipotle. Even if they vote to unionize the store one at a time, Chipotle still wins if chipotle choose to close the store since it’s less costly for them to open a new store than it is for the workers to find a new job.

My point is that getting a new job may actually be easy (given the current unemployment rate), so it could still be worth unionizing even if you know they will close the location.
