LOL. And successful has that been? Those folks have some great jobs! I used to work for Michelin Tire in SC (a very anti-union company). The Tire and Rubber union tried to get us to call for a vote and less than 10% of the workforce would even sign the card to call for a vote. They didn’t offer us anything that Michelin was already beating.
It was really pathetic watching them trying to evangelize to people that love their company and their job.
I knew there was another reason I loved Michelin Tires other than the fact that they produce a great quality product. Dunlop and Yokohama also make great tires and are anti-union.
A coincidence? I think not!
Once upon a time, the need was obvious. Lockouts, pay cuts, big scab hires (they'd call it a "workforce replacement" today -- that is what Henry Clay Frick did in the infamous steel lockout at Carnegie Steel that made his name literally an epithet) enforced by goon squads of up to 400 armed Pinkerton men did happen, and employers drove men to death by working them 12-hour days in dangerous conditions. Hundreds of seamstresses died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, and the Illinois legislature protected organized police beatings of union reps in Chicago beer halls in the 1870's by rewriting the state constitution to forbid carrying of firearms (sustained by a Gilded Age Supreme Court in Presser vs. Illinois -- Presser was a union man beaten into prison by the original Chicago bulls).
Even Milton Friedman once conceded that there would be no middle class today, had it not been for the labor syndicalist movement of the 1930's. But absent clear moves against worker pay, union leaders just have to recognize that their unions can be a tough sell, especially when they're mostly collection agents for the Democrat (Communist) Party, which is what they've become.
The real enemy of worker pay has been the Federal Reserve Bank, which uses the "repression" policy to steal savings and investments and suppress inflation-offsetting pay increases and COLA's. If companies once attacked employee pay directly, now they've farmed it out to Green Eyeshade Central.
