They'll change their tune when they won't be able to find anyone. The free market is as honest as it gets. If you underpay and undertreat your employees, they will seek an alternative. It is simple opportunity cost.

It will probably not be all or nothing.

They'll probably find a few people who will give it a go. The result will probably be delays and failure. Business as usual.
