    When a company spends money to discourage collective bargaining, whether that’s in production of “training” videos, or closing facilities, or punishing organizers (who are more likely to call foul on that illegal activity), it means that they think that will cost them less than bargaining with labor in good faith.

    They know they’re taking advantage of labor, and it costs them less to keep the bootheel on than it does to negotiate. Seize the means of production.

    It’s pretty wild to me that healthcare workers would only earn $5 more per hour than McDonald’s workers.

    It’s also wild that the $30,000,000,000.00 that the UPS drivers are splitting, would have only gone to a few incredibly wealthy people, had the workers not made a stand.
