    Dunno if this image specifically is real, but anti-union stuff is common in the US.

    I worked this one job where a couple of the employees tried to unionize. It had gotten far enough where there was going to be a vote.

    Well the company sent this snake woman around that personally gave almost everyone one on one talks to convince them that unions are bad and they should vote “no” on unionizing.

    For some reason none of my coworkers took even a second to wonder why the company was so hell bent on getting everyone to vote “no” that they set up one on one personal meetings with some random anti-union lady.

    Yeah, enough people voted “no” that we didn’t get to unionize…


    The one other thing I will say that was a bit baffling was that at a prior job I was working minimum wage and it had a union where I had to pay union dues. Wtf was the union doing where I was making less than minimum wage?? Not much apparently.
