All strength to the workers to keep unionising; what are they gonna do, close every store?

\n\n\n

I\u2019m from Ithaca. The store they closed is right next to Cornell University. The place was packed every time I drove by. And rightly so, it\u2019s right next to a college that takes up half the city. They\u2019d have to be fools to shut this store down - or retaliating against unionizing labor.

\n

Come to think of it, there\u2019s a large storefront on the other corner that\u2019s been empty for going on a decade now. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they open up a new store in the old Green Cafe location not long after they close the current one.
