    My current job makes us watch videos of a humble guy with a pleasant southern accent talking about how unions are bad because employees should have the power to represent themselves.

    After 4 years I’m still making the starting pay.

      Walmart has largely the same

      they just want your dues

      you lose the right to speak on your own behalf

        I can’t find the specific one I watched, but punching “Walmart union” into YouTube shows they’ve made a lot of anti-union “training” videos before.
