I don't think the government gives a hootie darn about unionized work to be honest. They want what's cheap, what fits the specifications they send out and, most importantly, what gets to them (relatively) on time in the quantities they request.
If a company is in danger of being penalized because they can't meet demand that was set in a contract, I can see why they would shut down a sector of sales in order to meet a deadline. I'm not blaming Colt in the least for this. I have this feeling they'll be back on the market before the 2020 Election Craze and making absurd profits like every manufacturer will.
