That’s kind of what “we think of ourselves more like a family” is.
And of course, where unions exist, Capital will try all manner of fuckery to make them tame (often quite successfully). But I don’t think a company would ever institute anything close to a union on purpose, because if you let workers elect their own reps there is always the danger that they’ll organise for real. Even the idea of unions is a threat, because if people stop thinking of unions as the devil, they might end up reading Jacobin, or thinking of themselves as human beings, or other nightmare scenarios.
