Germany, perhaps. (Although there are better employers even in the US.)
Justice Thomas's ruling didn't mention the option of getting a job with a better employer. But it did mention that the issue is "properly presented to the employer at the bargaining table."
Neither Integrity Staffing Solutions nor Amazon would find that a remotely attractive alternative. And if they return to the old long lines (ended by the appeals court ruling in the workers' favor), union organizers might seize on this part of the Supreme Court decision. So my guess is that the employer won't dare return to the old inadequate security staffing level. The workers would then have lost a legal point while winning in reality.
