    The fact that they have it on this blatant of a propaganda poster means that unions work.

    And going through union for what you need is much more effective and quicker than letting a supervisor/manager drag their feet and kick the ball around, and that’s what makes union dues worth it.

      That’s because the manager is incentivized to not help you, while the union is incentivized to help you.

      Unions are game-theoretically necessary.

        If employers have organizations advocating for them, it only makes sense for employees to have the same

      Not necessarily.

      A poster this blatant means unions are bad for management.

      It doesn’t prove that unions aren’t bad for both workers and management alike. Business isn’t a zero sum game. To show that something helps workers, you need to demonstrate that it helps workers.

      Which is to say, this poster is a bad argument for unions. The success of the writers strike, on the other hand, is a good argument of how unions protect workers from the bad deals management offers.
