            This logic would actually disagree with unionizing (because you sort of have to bite the hand that is feeding you) but would agree with accepting a onetime pizza donation while still biting the hand (because you only shouldn’t bite a hand that repeatedly feeds you).

    Except it’s not just a pizza. Corporate will have spent millions of dollars on anti-union consultants, enough money to give pretty good raises across the board.

    Then, while eating the pizza, you’ll have to listen to a lecture about how unions are bad, mandatory btw.

    Reminds me of elementary school, where they’d have us go around fund raising for months and do a race and the reward dangling in front if us was “if we make our goal, we’ll have PIZZA PARTY!”. It was never “a pizza party”, always was said as if it was a proper noun, Pizza Party. I could never figure out why they thought eating 1-2 slices of soggy delivery pizza with classmates was a huge lure for us.

    More like: “by opening this box you have contractually agreed to vote against the formation of any union and to report all union forming activities to your goblin overlords. Furthermore, by being ‘present’ or ‘employed’ by this corporation when this box was opened, it anytime in the future, you also contractually agree to the rules outlined above. Should a legal dispute arise concerning this contract you are bound to mediation to determine that you are wrong and the corporate legal fees will be deducted automatically from your paycheck, no matter where you are employed.”

      I would love a meditation clause as meditation is about self determination and mediators don’t make any decisions or rulings. You’re thinking of arbitration. Source, am trained mediator.

        Gotcha, my mistake, definitely not well versed in that. Thanks for the correction, better that people are educated.

    One of the strongest reminders that there is no such thing as a really good corporation is watching how rabidly they respond to employees trying to unionize. If these companies were actually “good” like some people think, they would welcome the chance to give more power to their employees.

    Before arrival of said pizza, the email said, “…limit 2 slices per employee.”
