If they’re only spending hundreds of thousands to stop your union, you need to try harder :P

I was once years ago talking to a guy who ran an industrial shop. In the area there were a lot of other similar shops that had gone union, his wasn’t. And when asked about it, his answer was ‘everyone around here that’s gone union has deserved it. I pay my guys above prevailing wage, I don’t overwork them, and when they need time off I give it without a ton of HR paperwork. That costs a little more but it’s worth every penny because I get the best workers, and when the union comes knocking, it’s the workers who tell them to shove off.’

A number of years later the company was bought out. I only assume that guy left, because a Google search shows that shop is now union and employees gripe online about how management is continually squeezing their pay and working conditions.
