Large companies have a choice to purchase insurance to cover any strike revenue losses. It can be common to put on a post-strike "showtime" lay off or hours cut back trick right after employees return to work. This show is generally for weak employees and is used to make them think twice before ever striking in the future. Never works well.

some businesses refuse to do the right thing and pay for it by being strapped down by union laws. easier and more peaceful to just do right in the beginning and keep in house control
management has been disappearing in groups but officially calling it On Vacation? training to deliver packages and cross picket lines?
Small hour reduction for some drivers. Made up by working preload. Newer drivers bumped back to all preload. Not significant yet. Storing and holding rural packages is causing this.
union representation at a business means the workers had to call in the calvary just to receive normal treatment. other businesses have figured this out and remain non union.
Companies that naturally treat all employees well by good safety practices, pay, benefits and seniority rights never have unions. Any rights the current employees have now had to be fought for in the past.
