I don’t blame them, companies tend to push so much anti-union propaganda it gets to them eventually.
I worked at Wegmans when I was a teenager. I would be sat in a room with a bunch of other 17-22 year olds, and we’d be directed to listen to an hour of anti-union propaganda, telling us how Walmart has it so bad (not to point out that they had a union, because they don’t, just that Wegmans treated us “fairly” compared to the competition), and to reject any advancements from a union.
I only worked there a year, but I had friends who worked there through college, by the end the anti-union propaganda got to them, and they sounded a lot like the top level comment in this chain (“I’m sure some unions help but some are also bad”), took some long chats to get them off that heavy liberal propaganda and towards socialism, but they were eventually receptive.
That’s incredibly sad, thanks for getting them back on track
