@awkwardllama0509 My views are based on my own experience. The union protects terrible employees who should be fired. Instead, the rest of us have to pick up their slack. Also, the "more pay" only goes to employees with seniority even when they terribly workers. Meanwhile, new, hardworking workers will often leave for a job with better entry level pay. Generally, the employees who love unions tend to be the lazier ones with false senses of entitlement.

Unions ruin businesses. This activist basically wants a union so Starbucks can't fire her for being terrible employee who can't even show up on time. Unions protecting bad employees will lead to longer lines, out of stock products, and worst customer service.

@awkwardllama0509 BS. It's a workers market. Business don't treat their workers well don't have workers who stay or have to pay the workers an above market rate. Business that are big enough for unions are big of enough for HR departments who make sure management acts in a way that avoids expensive class actions. Unions protect bad employees, so they can continue to be unproductive workers.

@awkwardllama0509 Everything you say is BS. By "take advantage", you mean making this Star Bucks employee show up on time. Yes, a union could allow her to show up continuously late, be rude to customers, and generally be unproductive without consequences.
