The thing that really irks me about the USA is that a company is allowed, and expected, to do anything and everything short of physical violence to prevent its workers from organizing. And indeed, we have a history of just that - resorting to actual violence to prevent unions from organizing. I really think we need to strengthen laws that limit a corporation's ability to hold propaganda sessions, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with workers in other ways, like cornering them and making promises and so forth. It really is deplorable, so until there is anything close to a level playing field, I would blanket oppose these awful laws.
A union bargains for a better wage and usually requires just cause for you to be fired. It boggles my mind why workers wouldn't want just those basic protections. They seem to everywhere but here!
