2) scare mongering about dues is a classic union busting tactic!! is your boss ever worried about where literally any other part of your paycheck goes? are they out here trying to stop your landlord from raising the rent?

We were at the bargaining table until 1 a.m. this morning. We could have gotten a deal but the company lawyer said our proposals were “so close yet so far away.”
We're only $3,000 apart from the company on salary minimums for our lowest-paid workers. Three thousand.

Instead of relying on the talented journalists at Gizmodo Español, G/O Media has enacted an automation that takes English-language Gizmodo articles, translates them poorly into Spanish, and posts them on Gizmodo Español almost immediately, with no Spanish-language editing.

The abrupt and callous firing of a Black woman comes a mere day after Business Insider reported on G/O’s targeted mistreatment of a queer staffer of color. Imani’s termination follows an ugly pattern from management, particularly the HR department.

union dues help pay for lawyers, organizers, and negotiators who'll make your company give you a higher salary and better benefits. so of course bosses want to convince you they're some wild, unmanageable expense

one example: our union contract stipulates a 3% cost of living raise each year. that means an employee making our minimum salary (minimums! another union benefit!) gets a $1,500 salary bump each year. kinda seems like the dues were worth it!
