- ohCh6zos 5y agoThe constant underhanded tactics are the exact reason joining a union is immoral.
- kesselvon 5y agoEmployer underhanded tactics are so common it's an SOP.
- merrywhether 5y ago> The constant underhanded tactics They are also the reason many corporations are immoral. Or: most unions are legitimately just trying to improve the situation for their workers, and many business owners have a conscience and weigh more than profits in their business decisions. It’s mostly the mega-wealthy who have become disconnected from normal humans and give us these Snidely Whiplash characterizations that ultimately paint both sides with a bad brush.

- threatofrain 5y agoIMO a union's primary purpose is to provide counterbalance against disparity in a greater game of power.
- therouwboat 5y agoWhat are they doing? I was under impression that american unions are kinda toothless. Is it worse than what kelloggs is doing, spending money to replace striking workers rather than giving them a raise?
- slothtrop 5y agoReminder that this attack comes from users on reddit's r/antiwork sub, not union workers.
- aloisdg 5y agoA DDoS is a pandemic friendly remote way to join a union lead strike.

- Spivak 5y agoLegal lawbreaking is such a stupid concept. Have people forgotten that civil disobedience is purposely breaking the law for good reason? God it's like an entire generation forgot how to be rebels when they grew up -- "Oh I'm sorry could you pretty please let me protest you."
- josephcsible 5y agoIsn't part of civil disobedience that you understand there will be negative legal consequences for your actions, but you do them anyway? What I see a bunch of today is people saying "yeah I broke the law but I should be immune from the consequences because blah blah blah".
