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 ?
