Some do as they do because it fits their preferences or their faith.
Two groups which come to mind are Hobby Lobby and Chik Filet.
Lots of non union shops will close early tonight, and stay closed most or all of tomorrow, even though they do not have to do so. Many provide assured breaks, even though no union exists to mandate they do so. And many do not stand by the door or cubicle to berate if someone is a tad over on a break or a meal period.
Unions are not evil by any means, but is inaccurate to posit only a union advocates for the employees of a business.
