If they can prove the layoffs are retaliation, can’t the workers sure them? Or does that only apply to the initial action of unionisation?

There are actually protections for striking according to the NLRB “depending on the purposes and means of the strike action.”
I believe if it’s an unsanctioned wildcat strike they can fire without it being retaliation, but if it’s a strike backed by the NLRB they have to prove it isn’t retaliation and I don’t think the days gone by an official strike counts here. I could be wrong but that is what I remember about wildcat strike differences
It depends on the kind of strike. Workers that strike over a company’s unfair labor practice are protected from permanent replacements. This is not that tho. While they are far apart, I don’t think they can accuse the companies of refusing to negotiate.
Of course if the union wins the strike then no replacement.
