I post this in every similar thread, but the reason every company does this similarly is because it’s a service they hire. They don’t even bother busting unions themselves anymore, there are consultants who come in with a tried and true playbook for scaring workers out of it. All the talking points (“we’re a family!”’), the little propaganda videos they show (“Don’t you want to talk to your boss directly and not go through a rep?”), and the gaslighting (“dues are so expensive!”) all come from a small handful of companies that supply this service.
It’s disgusting.
