Watch how Tesla goes bankrupt because of one CEO’s idiocy and greed and then blame unions for it. Tale as old as time.

      You’d be shocked how much anti union hate is alive and well in impoverished Republican areas. The propaganda succeeded.

        this right here, I live in a predominantly blue district and the amount of people that believe that unions are the worst thing that can happen to a worker is insane. I have to give it to the anti-union propaganda, it was efficient and it worked.

          If it wasn’t so vile, it’s downright impressive. Even my mother is anti-union. Women’s rights, immigrant protections, universal healthcare, wealth taxes, etc.

          But she will argue against me until I’m gasping for air that unions are bad for workers.

      I grew up in a blue collar area and the normal lines that get repeated over and over is that unions prevent hard workers from standing out and excelling. They reward and promote laziness. They make the labour so expensive the business cant survive. And on and on.

        I’m all for unions even though I was fucked over by Pepsi’s union. Just make sure your union leaders aren’t company men or women.

            It was shit, I was lied to and they broke their own rules that are in writing and when I showed them they blew me off. It was a shit job anyways, at least I got a free CDL out of it.

        I guess anyone who believes that thinks that they are and always will be in the 90% performance bracket who will get rewarded.

        PS: only rich egotists like elon can afford to live in that belief.
