I mean, I’d bet dollars to donuts Ubisoft would win it handily if it gets to a class action or whatever equivalent.
For one, they’re basically on the verge of falling over so the economic motivation is a no-brainer.
For two, it’s a massive multinational company headquartered in France (a country with stronger labour laws than Canada) with plenty of legal advice available on these matters. I highly doubt they’d do it this blatantly if they were not confident this is an easy sell, instead of waiting something like 6 months to separate the 2 events enough for plausible deniability.
For three, good luck holding a foreign company accountable, in general.

I mean, I would have agreed with you, except we’ve also just recently seen even more blatant and indefensible union-busting from Rockstar in the UK, another country with good labour laws, and another country with more than adequate legal resources.
I think you’re probably right that Ubisoft has sufficient legal cover to win this case, but that’s because of the merits of this case, not because a big company from a country with good laws could never do something stupidly illegal.
They can, and they can try to make the case that this is unrelated to unionization and fight that in court. Good luck
