A Union Overreach

A small coffee house chain in the somewhat tarnished Golden State (only three stores) was just closed by its owner after the employees voted to unionize. The workers already received health and dental insurance along with pay exceeding California's high minimum wage. The proprietor told staff that the locations had already been losing money for years, but labor nevertheless voted for collective bargaining. This left the boss with no choice (from his prospective) but to shutter the doors. The work force should have realized that any enterprise other than government is unable to simply print more money, and that they could push their now former employer too far.
