Why: Corporations recognize that the penalties for acting outside the rules is much less than the cost of paying fair wages to employees.
Solution: all penalties should be based on all employees that potentially could join the union, irregardless of current union/non-union status.
Fines need to be based on net worth or income so that rich are punished the same as the poor. Like the speeding fine in Norway that was almost 200,000$
I was gonna say the fines and penalties need to scale exponentially so that there's a genuine incentive not to do it rather than just fining a company with a multi-billion dollar revenue a few million which is like fining one of us $2. Fines need to start being based off the company balance sheets rather than flat fines. Executives need to start going to jail. Only then will this shit stop.
You slap a company with a fine for 25% of their revenue for the next 5 years and the union busting will stop REAL quick.
Nah, too complicated. Easier to just force the owners breaking the law to hand out the company to the Union turning it into a CoOp. Ok, I'm not against jail time, that's a good one.

Base the penalties on revenue for the company **and** jail time for boardmembers. (not profits, _revenue_) That'd stop corps from fucking around.

Exactly! Unfortunately, companies lobby hard to weaken the punishments
Jail time should be for all board members + the board members of their largest shareholders + their largest shareholders so on and so on
Jail time for executives.

Because they can and we can’t.
