I also owned a non-union printing business. And I've been a non-union worker (countless lousy, dead end jobs). I've been a union worker (IBEW Chicago local 134). You want to prevent your workers from unionizing? All you have to do is listen to them, and let them know they're heard. But ask yourself, "self, why are there unions in the first place?" There's only one answer: Corporations exploiting their own workers, denying them basic human rights, and refusing to pay sustainable wages. Have unions gone too far? In some cases, definitely. Of course, once Trump was elected (I sat out that election) it cured me of that staunch republicanism - especially now that the GOP's gone flat out batshit crazy. Edgar at first refused to have the FBI round up the Japanese, but was told by Roosevelt he'd simply find someone else who would do it. Not sure if they gave him management duties or elevated his pay, but I think the objective was just to remove him from that sphere of vulnerability.Ī lot of things that happen to your family color your perception - for instance I was a staunch republican because my parents moved to the midwest to avoid being put in a prison camp (they called them internment camps) in California. My dad resisted and Walgreens actually made him part of the management team to isolate him from the threats. My dad worked as a pharmacist for Walgreens and when they were unionizing they threatened to break his legs if he didn't join. Gotta say, I've never been in a union and have never been terribly pro-union.
