    Legit had someone from my last job start going on a break room tirade about how “those damn unions just want your money” but strangely had no rebuttal when asked why giving them 2% of your paycheck is a bad thing when they negotiated your RAISE to be 15% and your health benefits add up to an additional savings of around 20%.

    I’m SO SORRY you’re getting extra money and healthcare rather than the NOTHING you had before.

    Nowadays I like to print up cards with unionizing information on them, facts vs myths, links to read up more, anti-union tactics, links to join unions, links to find HELP setting up a union, and basically anything I could cram into a business card. Now I leave about 10 of them any time I go into a non union store.

    Given how previous management has reacted to “someone” leaving these in the break room, I’m sure I’ve caused a few sleepless nights.

    Hasn’t Amazon been caught deducting pay arbitrarily from delivery drivers?

    In fact, given a lot of them seem to be able to be terminated at a moment’s notice, so no guarantees of pay there either. And work rules? What?

    Oh and talking to someone paid by the company about your grievances Vs someone independent seems like a worse alternative than the final bubble.

    Man, these guys really suck at propaganda
