A very long time ago, I believe it was Coors Brewing "decertified"
the union at Coors after years of thug tactics by the union. This has
to be a good 25 or 30 years ago. It really raised some dander, but it
CAN happen.
A company, IIRC, can refuse to recognize a union, but the PR and other
side-effects don't lean to using that course of action. Today might be
different, but the MSM would raise holy hell regardless of what
"pranks" the union engaged in.


The company didn't de-certify the union the workers did. I've posted a
wiki article below.

That said there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about labor law in
this conversation. Which is understandable because it is a very complex
set of laws on both the federal and state level. But to simplify..

The federal law recognizes two different types of strikers. Economic
Strikers and Unfair Practice Strikers.

Thanks, but the question regards how much a company is beholden to a union.
It has nothing to do with strikes.
