The documentary that won the Oscar last year, "American Factory", is worth watching. The company in the movie brings in some consulting firm and requires employees to go to classes about why unions are bad during work hours.
There are legitimate reasons to dislike unions, but the reason companies rely on these "ham-fisted" tactics is because the employees are generally less sophisticated than people on HN and the tactics work.
>the employees are generally less sophisticated than people on HN
Can you define what you mean by “less sophisticated” and what you think drives this discrepancy?
The irony to me is that I see a lot of comments on HN that would indicate many don’t have much knowledge of how unions work, so I don’t know that the claim of sophistication holds true in every domain
