What if this is just a delay tactic? Put some randos in front of the machines, below smoke everywhere and maybe that’s an extra few weeks that the strikers have to strike for. Maybe it’s not meant to succeed, just slow failure as a means of negotiating better.
I think watching a bunch of useless and unsellable merch thanks to incompetence get produced will only embolden strikes and cost the company more money.
This is absolutely an, "I'M NOT OWNED, I'M NOT OWNED" moment.
If you're so incompetent that your mere presence is an obstacle to profit, then yes!
Slow-walk the work and fuck it up as much as is plausible. Make it more costly than shutting down.

If it’s doomed to failure, this is probably the case. Let’s hope it’s doomed to failure.
