"Coming in and breaking the union and offering less money or else they're out of a job is definitely firing them."

No, it's not firing anyone, because the employees were never hired by the new owners. The business changed hands, and when businesses change ownership, there is *never* a guarantee that the employees will keep their job - or their pay.

I used to be a federal contractor. This is how life works, whether you like it or not. I worked with people on other contracts whose contract changed ownership, and they faced a 15% pay cut. That is what happens when someone new takes ownership.

Did it occur to you that the compensation package and union benefits may have been financially untenable? Amazon Fresh delivers all the way down Issaquah-Hobart road now, and I strongly suspect that the market was losing business as a result.

I hope that this community is absolutely thrilled that more people are now out of work and we have an expensive abandoned building right downtown. Good job!
