    This is the kind of thing a union (which Linus, of course, has said he’s very against) would help with

        “I like unions, I just don’t think they’re right for my company” is one of the oldest tricks in the anti-union playbook

        he wants to run a business where a union isn’t needed.

        That is code for “I hate unions and will do my best to bust them up before they start”. Same BS as when a company calls itself a “family”. Total and complete bullshit to try and emotionally manipulate you to doing more for less than your worth.

        That’s how bosses have to phrase being anti union. “Oh we’re a family here why do you need a union” shit

        “We want a business where a union isnt needed” is a massive red flag. Kroger said the same to me at an employee orientation in 2016, at the time their starting pay was 7.75 and working pressures massive, as I’m sure they still are.

        Do you honestly think he’d come out directly and say “I’m against unions”? Wouldn’t it be just as easy for him to say “I’m pro union and I’d support my employees if they decide to unionize” if that’s what he believed? C’mon now
