You are a union man? Go speak with your fellow union people who work with negotiations and forming chapters and ask them what it means when a company says "we are pro unions but we feel it isn't a good fit for us and we would have failed as a company if our employees would feel like they would need one".

Hint: it's something like "get the fuck out with the union shit, I'll fire y'all"

Fair enough. I'm not going to double down. This was a blind spot for me, maybe because my union is already established and fairly strong, but I'll hold this L and learn from it

I would just like to give props to you for owning up and listening to the information. I do not in any way think that you were wrong in your reasoning, just that there was more context that is likely relevant which you hadn't been privy to, and once you were informed of it you reevaluated. Not everyone does that and I think a very valuable part of this community is when people do that (I know I'm not always particularly good at it myself).
