I read earlier this year that Whole Foods were calculating the risk of unionisation across their stores and that they believed that this correlated with factors within a store including lower levels of ethnic diversity.

Whether, with all other things taken into account, this remains a factor, and whether there is causation, I don't know, but they did see fit to mention it specifically as a "Store Risk".
- raxxorrax 6y agoMuch more realistic perspective. I don't think increased ethnic diversity must play a role in inhibiting formation of unions, but it can be. If I would need to implement a divide and conquer approach to any group, I certainly would start with benefiting certain members above others. Conflict is almost guaranteed this way. Oldest trick in the book. Some diversity proponents try to mandate solidarity will indeed undermine efforts for workers rights. That approach might even be more subtle.
