The union operatives implant it into them. I sat in on a union meeting years ago (IBEW) where a union suit came in to give a talk. He literally told the workers that management was out to get them any way they can, so they'd better build a file on management "misconduct" so they could use that info to try save their jobs when management "came after them". Turning the workers against the company that feeds them. That's some way to build a successful company, eh? Any wonder nearly all unionized companies are poor performers, and fail?

Fear mongering. Intimidation. Lies. Deceit. The tools of unions.

Unions had a function 100 years ago but they are anachronisms today.
Most of the "protections" they pioneered are now federal law

That's just absolute, complete bull****.

You never heard of OSHA, NLRB, the various labor laws and last but not
least a very litigious society with lawyers trolling for clients every
day. Carnegie is not sending the Pinkertons in to shoot strikers, you
don't have kids working in unsafe conditions and putting in 72 hours a
week for base pay.

I think I know a bit more about the real world of labor law and what is
enforced and what isn't, generally, than you do. Most of the teeth in
many labor laws have been excised, and the NLRB is only a shadow of what
it used to be.
