agree 98% - union friendly states have laws that don't allow an employer to say FOAD. They are forced to allow the union to come in and hold a vote and they must abide by that vote. It only has to be 50% to force the entire workforce into the union. It only takes one employee to get the union in the door.
A lot of southern (anti-union) states have right to work laws, employees can opt out of the union and tell the union to FOAD
Employers cannot retaliate against a worker for union activities.
Laws vary state to state so check your local listings.

I'm not aware of too many cases where a business was legally prohibited from re-locating their business though..

True, they can close their doors, move to another part of the country. But that's a real financial burden. Not just the cost to move, rehire, train etc. But the lost revenue during that time. Most often they suck it up and go out of business anyway.
What's a shame is this turd doesn't seem to realize he is putting Americans out of work in a lot of areas.
Unless the law requires union trades people on the job, those skilled trades people often don't speak English.
Because Pablo won't unionize and that makes Joe's HVAC competitive for the jobs.
But that's the American way, adversarial , winner take all. Look at corporate America. The people at the top, the handful, are reaping in huge bucks, in turn they layoff the workers, freeze their pay or even better, outsource their job and require them to train the new people.
On the flip side, unions drive companies out of business with strikes and ever inflating compensation packages/
Look at the UAW, they get how many months of pay when they are laid off? Like 6 and all their benefits. That costs the automakers money, even more money when they aren't selling cars.
