This how some bakeries (where I came from) would close down for x number of days then open up under a different name (new owner) to break the union. They would reopen with non-union employes. Some other companies also did the same scenario. They have to close for a ? period of time to make this happen. That is why they wanted to close even before the judge made then negotiate.
