Watch how Tesla goes bankrupt because of one CEO’s idiocy and greed and then blame unions for it. Tale as old as time.

      You’d be shocked how much anti union hate is alive and well in impoverished Republican areas. The propaganda succeeded.

        this right here, I live in a predominantly blue district and the amount of people that believe that unions are the worst thing that can happen to a worker is insane. I have to give it to the anti-union propaganda, it was efficient and it worked.

          If it wasn’t so vile, it’s downright impressive. Even my mother is anti-union. Women’s rights, immigrant protections, universal healthcare, wealth taxes, etc.

          But she will argue against me until I’m gasping for air that unions are bad for workers.

      I grew up in a blue collar area and the normal lines that get repeated over and over is that unions prevent hard workers from standing out and excelling. They reward and promote laziness. They make the labour so expensive the business cant survive. And on and on.

      Nope! Lots of blue collar workers have been programmed since birth that unions are bad. Without a proper education they’ll never learn otherwise. I know, I was one of them.

        Amazon put gamer-centric union busting materials in it’s centers telling folks to buy games instead of paying dues.
