Lorne Gunter read my mind:
No government or court can make a store or other business stay open against its wishes. By what authority? More importantly, by what mechanism could such an order be enforced?

Speaking of unions, this LTC union supporter/member thinks he knows all about me: Rod Smelser.
For the life of me I can not figure out how something like this ever even made it into Magistrates Court let alone get to the Supreme Court. It would not break my heart if every union in existence went down the flusher. There was a time 60 or more years ago you could justify what they did but those days are long gone. They have outlived their usefulness bye multitudes beyond imagination.
It should have been thrown out at the start. I guess it shows how much power unions have.
Neither should a the government be looking for “anti-union animus” as a pretext to stick its grubby fingers into business decisions.
It would be enforced by a Directive 10-289 (the Moratorium on Brains as Francisco D’Anconia called it) as in Atlas Shrugged: “Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remian in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.”
In other words owners become slaves.
Luckily that’s still fiction. Although, give the socialists a chance…
