If unions were actually bad for workers, corporations wouldn't need to spend millions of dollars on union-busting.
Employers spend more than $400 million per year on ‘union-avoidance’ consultants to bolster their union-busting efforts
High-profile union organizing campaigns and attacks on those campaigns at companies such as Amazon, Starbucks, and Google have shined a spotlight on workers seeking better pay and working conditions. However, attempts to derail those efforts by corporations are on the rise, costing more than $400 million a year.

Stanley Black-Decker@Fabritzio @rbreich They're lobbying against that shit, too, because you'd have to tax the union-busters to get it done
A Byrd@rbreich Please tell that to the state of #Florida, who is currently trying to make it more difficult for public employee unions to operate and keep their collective bargaining rights. Or do we only care when it's private unions that are at stake?
For context, please look at SB256, which is being voted on in the Senate today.

Anti-Fatalist@rbreich Most unions are pro-capitalism, because they depend on capitalism for their continued existence, so it's a problem / conflict of interest.
