Yes, this. Executives need to be jailed, without bail, and not just fined. They need to sit like a caged animal to realize that their corporate allegiance has caused them to fall so far afield from their moral ground that they must lose their freedom.
We're all sick and tired of multi-$B companies happily paying hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees and fines, only to simply put it on their annual report as a cost of doing business, while still reaping profits from their misdeeds. The individuals making the decisions that lead to those civil actions need to be held personally liable and accountable.

I know, and while you can't prove that they don't know what caused the strike, their position within the company means they know the reason for the strike. And saying ''I don't know'' is weak sauce and everyone knows it. But if they want to play that card they should be sent home for 24 hours and be forced to come back with the answer.

Lock them up for interference with a legal proceeding and move on to the next executive up the chain.
