Also giving them a bad rep: propaganda efforts by big employers. Back when I worked for them, Walmart showed new hires a training video that could be summed up as "just say no to card checks; union organizers are trying to trick you into giving up your rights, and you don't need a union anyway because we value our associates so much".
- Brockenstein 9y agoArguably, unions were so successful that people started asking "what do we need them for anymore?" It's shortsightedness that companies were/are all to happy to exploit.
- RightMillennial 9y agoSome of the reputation is deserved though. When I worked at UPS you were forced to join the Teamsters union and pay union dues. I don't have a problem with the unions in general, but I'm against forced membership.
