It is always the same tactic again and again and again. Constant variations of, "unions steal your money via dues and you have no guarantee of benefits then, but you do right now".

It's exhausting.

The same tactic, damn near the same words, are used for the same purpose since at least the 1800s. It works well enough that they just slightly modernize the language and that is that.

Bet hanging and handing out union material on company premises is an instant termination.

The one union job I had was was great. Union got us good pay with benefits.

I worked at anti union places and seen many people mistreated by management. They had an HR department that would talk to the manager and a few months later management would say their job was no longer necessary and let them go.

Many states ban vote solicitation and signs within 50-200 ft of polling locations. I'm sure it's only for state+ level votes, but it seems to me like having signs saying to vote NO directly on and adjacent to the voting machine for a legally protected union vote should be not legal...

Yes, union life is for you. JOIN A UNION!

They'd look better on fire.

This is always so funny to me. They have money to get these posters designed, have copy written up for them, get them printed, it looks like they paid for a whole website by the looks of the QR code.

That money could’ve been put in the workers pockets. Seeing these anti-union tactics is even more of a reason to unionize.

Yeah but bathroom breaks and not being fired simply because you forgot to smile at the manager
