The thing is that it hurts the employer just as much as the workers if everyone quits, so if you unionize first, then threaten to stop working, then you’ve got someone who can negotiate with the employer so that you don’t have to quit and you get paid enough to not make you want to quit.
At my job, and I am looking for work elsewhere, you had to sign an employment contract saying you wouldn’t unionize. That doesn’t sound legal, but this is Indiana, so it probably is. If you want to know why I signed, I was desperate for a job.
They accept it because what else can they do? A lot of them aren’t in unions and even if all of them quit, how are they going to find new jobs?

As said above, not a legal clause. So signing it is the smart thing to do – you can just ignore it and unionize anyway if you want.
It’s nice that they get written consent to fuck their employees at least.
If the corporations are making record profits, that means theyre hiring, it means you can go work for a rival.
I’m looking. The problem is I have sort of a weird and eclectic resume, which doesn’t look great to employers.
