You guys do know that outside the US you can't generally advertise permanent positions and then just decide it's temporarily more convenient not to have people on payroll, right?

I know a generally wonderful human being, taking care of his disabled parents, scraping by at a manufacturing job. He is hardcore against unions, says that he can negotiate for himself.

When you're reliant on every penny you make, having part of your paycheck going towards a union can seem like a bad decision at face value.

Yeah, short sightedness seems like the biggest defining factor of the anti union mindset.
