There's also the story Richard Branson wrote about in his memoir where the co-founder of Virgin was pro unionizing and his workers were too.
Branson convinced (and lied to) his partner that no one in the company actually liked him and the union attempt would fail. Caused his co-founder to quietly quit and Branson to retain sole control.
I agree, I imagine shady shit like this is quite common just not discussed.

- aledalgrande 3y agoWhich memoir was that?
- marricks 3y agoOh wow, I misremembered it a bit. It was about a magazine Branson was running "Student" in his early days. The details of the story are accurate though. Source > Richard Branson’s Losing My Virginity
- Mizoguchi 3y agoIf your "partner" sides with a union to take over the company that's an all out war.
- saagarjha 3y agoSounds like Branson sided against the union?
