    This is what every big company does just sometimes without the algo. This is why we need unions

      Not just unions, but also a functional Dept of Justice that hands out criminal charges for these criminal offenses.

      Paying a fine is NOT adequate. The historical alternative was workers pulling the executives out of their houses in the night and burning down the factory.

        FYI they even don’t pay a fine when they break the National Labor Relations Act.
