The employers. A good union means they can’t exploit and threaten employees as much as they want to. There are whole firms dedicated to avoiding unions from forming and breaking them if they do form or strike.
The only unions I don’t support are police unions.
À number of US companies tried this shit in Europe. They typically got a harsh awakening when they found out that their shenanigans wouldn’t fly over here.
Union busting in the US is insane, there’s an entire consultant industry based around union busting. It’s often tied in to HR initiatives like EDI as well which makes it even more insidious.
I work in the public sector. I get mailers all the time telling me to opt out of the union. They would come from a right wing super PAC. I wish I could opt out of receiving those mailers.
All the time, in fact when I worked at Walmart they practically threatened us up front with illegal “Signature protection” videos to never join a union
Wait… Non-American here… You actually get mail telling people NOT to join a Union? Who sponsors those?

Don’t forget yellow unions
its illegal in the UK for police to advocate forming a police union
It’s very interesting. Where I live, the employer may not even ask if you’re in a union when they give a job interview. Or even after they hire you!
