Comment on Where *does* the money come from?

I was radicalized when I worked (as a supervisor) for a big box electronics store, and there were staff interested in joining a union.
Boy let me tell you how many anti-union trainings I had to attend. And the way they villified and attacked the person who was the “leader” of the people interested.
I’m not sure exactly what they were expecting from me/us as a leadership team, but I came away from that with a crystal clear understanding of how scared corporations are of unions. And so I’ve been staunchly pro-union since.

No no no, they only care about the best interests of their employees! That’s why they spend so much fighting unions. It has no profit motive whatsoever. Because, obviously, the union won’t be able to secure any better wages or benefits anyway! So there’s really no reason to unionize. Ever. Don’t even talk about it. Definitely don’t talk about it with your co-workers. Definitely don’t leave union literature on the break room table. Certainly don’t bring up unionizing to a few people you trust.
