    At the jobs I’ve had where anti-union shit was part of the “training” videos, they were always the longest videos, exceeding the length of all the other training videos and having scripts with the most hokey cringeworthy scenarios conceivable. They made the unionizers look and act like these sinister con artist salespeople types, presented the not-yet-unionized employees as victims of lies and coercion and toward the end had them tell the audience how they can just gO To ThEiR MaNAgEr with all their problems and pay raise requests because that definitely works and the private capitalist company is just oh so empathetic and generous!

    The last place that had this shit in orientation lowballed all the positions’ wages for the nature and importance of the work, offered zero benefits to speak of outside the usual dogshit health insurance plans (literally zero, no vacation time, no PTO, no paid holidays, your only compensation was your hourly wage), were always short staffed due to constant turnover, had horrible management, and never gave raises for any reason.
