Answering a query, the company spokesperson said, "In a unionized environment, it is much harder to fire poor-performing employees as compared to a non-unionized environment. This is because employers cannot give reasonable notice of termination to get rid of a poor-performing union employee. Rather, the employer is required to impose progressive discipline over a period of time, ultimately terminating that employee for just cause."
