During a union organizing campaign, a company manager tells employees: 'I understand that some of you are considering supporting a union. I want to tell you that this is a big mistake. It will only lead to problems. My father spent his whole life as a member of a union, and he never got anything good out of it. He spent his career paying dues to the union – money that was needed at home – and then, when he was only two years from retirement, the company shut down and went out of business. He got nothing. We got nothing. All that union ever did was collect money from honest, hardworking employees, and then when the union was most needed, it didn't do anything to help.'

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.
