this kinda thing sort of still happens.
I knew a guy that delivered groceries, and the workers for the same mega-corp in CA unionized.
And I asked the guy if they were going unionize here. And he said why bother he and his workers just got a raise.
I looked at him and said, “And you can thank your coworkers risking their biscuit for your raise. Have a nice day.”
Some people.
That line of thinking is exactly what management was counting on when they gave everyone else a (probably pretty meager) raise
