If you have 100,000 employees and you can save $1000 per year on each employee (that's about $0.50 an hour) by giving the job to someone else, then you just earned your $100,000,000 salary for the year!

Don't forget also that without unions, you don't have to worry about strikes. Just the thought of a strike can bring some companies down.
