During a union organizing campaign, a company manager tells employees: 'I understand that some of you are considering supporting a union. I sure hope a union doesn't come in here. That would be terrible for you. It would probably mean that you would have to give up some of your paycheck each week to the union in the form of dues. Worse, the union couldn't guarantee you anything. The company already gives you everything that it can afford. Union or no union, I can't see the company doing much more. Our company president opposes a union here. He has told me to tell you that he urges you to vote against any union. You wouldn't want to disappoint the company president, would you? That could lead to terrible consequences for you. The last time I saw the president get angry at employees, he fired everyone. Of course, that was many years ago, but I don't think he has changed his approach. So, I trust that you will do the right thing and vote against the union.'

Unions help reduce wage gaps for women workers and workers of color. Union members have better job safety protections and better paid leave than non-union workers, and are more secure exercising their rights in the workplace.
