they don't tell you bro they don't like unions

oh definitely, walmart always said, "we aren't anti union we are pro associate"

 

[Deezy]

Then lock your family in court because they don't want their wives collecting pensions they were promised after they die.

 

[Butters]

I've just never really felt a need to be in one. my buddy that's in one has to pay either monthly or yearly dues and he has never had to contact the union or anything in the 10+ years he's been paying.

I doubt just because you’re in a Union, they can force you to vote for someone lmao. I won’t doubt they don’t make suggestions or anything like that, but they can’t make you vote how they want lmao

 

[Chris]

Yeah there's no real point for you, I was just giving shit bc you said 10% was sad lmao

 

[Butters]

I just figure there's way more than 10% of people working factories. those should probably always be in a union

From my understanding, there’s other benefits that are really helpful. Like I’m sure most places that have health insurance from work, is because of Unions. But I could be wrong on that also.

 

[Deezy]

All I know is my dads union turned their back on mymoms and she had to go on welfare until I could pay for her remaining days.

 

[Butters]

I get insurance and 401k. that's all I really care about.

mostly done now tho, the main thing they do now is try and get higher wages. The industries that don't have prominent unions usually already offer similar benefits as an incentive to prevent unions, wages just stagnate there

 

[Chris]

The auto workers strike last year I believe was mostly higher wages but also a cap on hours worked in a week I think

Project 2025 wants to take away overtime pay

 

[Butters]

so i'm told. no proof

 

[Samoa Looch]

Project 2025 wants to fuck most people over

 

[Butters]

I feel like anything you can think that's bad, Project 2025 wants to implement.
