Wonder what this means for the tax implications and if it puts them below the threshold that they agreed to employ.

According to wikipedia it appears there were 1460 employees at the end of 2022 and that appears to be the commitment [1]. The Buffalo News recently publish 1619 as the current #, above the threshold. [2]

This might actually mean the chances of unionization are higher - they have a threshold to maintain with a big penalty, so there are only so many people they can fire!
