If more would join a union it would likely cause the other companies employees to find more interest or courage to join. Please join a union if you are not already. Support yourself and fellow workers, solidarity is key.

These numbers seem grossly inflated. How was the study conducted?

Edit:

However, on average 67% of those polled in the Blind survey said they were likely to join a union and 73% said that unions “mostly helped.”

Eh that's reasonable. Blind (the app) is pretty good, alibet toxic

That's... Exactly why they would be anti union?

Because companies like Apple, Google, etc. treat their engineers extremely well in order to attract the best talent. Why unionize if you're payed a ton of money, have unlimited PTO and work in a very casual office environment (or from home)?

Apple employees lack class consciousness. They don’t understand that they too are working class, because they too have to sell their labor to survive. You can be pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-DEI, etc. while still being oblivious to the class war.

Gotta ask some of my coworkers if they were one of the participants in the survey.
