“One training video segment includes teaching managers how to find “warning signs” of unionization efforts, which included any employees who stick around after their shift has ended. Warning signs also included looking out for “union words” such as a “living wage”.
“you might need to talk about how having a union could hurt innovation which could hurt customer obsession”
“could hurt customer obsession”
“could”
“hurt”
“customer”
“obsession”

Thoughts on pros of local vs national/global businesses. Not too fond of the argument that more small businesses means more competition means better services. Good argument that local business have a more nuanced take on local issues. Also that nationalising big businesses doesn’t automatically make them better for society – it’s the scale that is wrong.
