    I think the idealogy of neoliberalism has succeeded quite admirably in duping the population into believing that corporations and the population share the same interests, erasing almost all collective consciousness of class struggle.

    In reality anything that is a benefit to the worker is more often an unrealised by product of something that benefits the company.

    Worse yet, sometimes companies will shoot themselves in the foot and not do something which benefits both the workers and the company, because they don’t want the workers getting any ideas about being people with rights. Eg. Working remotely

  Every company larger than 250 workers should automatically be unionized.

      Sure, government should step in and require union formation. Either the employees join an existing union or are able to form their own, without any obstruction from the company. There is no case where the employees are better off without a union, and the existence of non-unionized employees hurts the power of unions.
