John Oliver discusses the mechanics of union busting, why the companies who do it face so few consequences, and what it really means when your manager wants to talk to you about “your attendance.”

Weird how unions are so much help in the EU and yet only bad in the US. Weird how the voises of the rich always silences those that want a better worklife/life. Waiting for the poor to defend union busting.
ReplyGreat video as usual Johnny o boyo
ReplyYes, she was my favorite, too!
ReplyAnother example of American billionaires being successful in convincing the poor Americans that their interests are aligned billionaires (another issue no taxes) – study Scandinavia where unions are seen as important partners in businesses – they take responsibility, which in the long run are of high value to the companies – but it seems like Americans can only see it as some kind of communism snd then all brain activity shuts down. Americans are NOT dumb – many are just uneducated (give them free education – like Scandinavia) – which is also why Trump can lie his way through to the white house
Replyits raining tacos !
ReplyUNIONS NOW!!!
ReplyPlease put back eng-subtitles
Replyunions should be mandatory and be subsidised. Workers rights go down the drain.
ReplyThis is a good topic even if the host wants to make it a political issue where you are either for or against unions.
ReplyThe ease of, or possibility of success of, a union is a purely econonic issue. Can the labor be replaced for less than the price of the (union’s) demand(s) in the longterm? If yes the union is a scam on the workers. If no then it is a winning move to unionize.
UNIONS NOW
ReplyWow, crazy scare tactics are nuts in the USA!
ReplyI am so glad that as an American i chose to work in Europe because here is where the “American Dream” is a reality instead of a dream as it is in the USA.
I have a living wage, universal healthcare, free college/ university, free training for if i decide to change careers, 30 days paid vacation, a ton of rights, vacation pay, 1 year maternity leave which can be shared by both partners (not at the same time) and that is just the beginning.
The USA needs laws for people because without people the companies have nothing.
I gave up on the USA because of the stupidity and the lack of real knowledge about unions and basically most things.
when i was working for vail resorts, i asked my boss about making a union as a joke, and deadass legit… i was taken to a back room and told to sign a bunch of paper work, i still dont know what they really took from me….
ReplyThat’s such bullshit from target. When I worked in home Depot I worked in electrical and would call an employee if someone need help in another department
ReplyHo, hum…If only there was a major political figure equipped to address these essential issues within the last several years. I guess we’ll never know…And, I’m sorry for being a Russian misogynist for almost alluding to the possibly decent politician in question.
Replygotta love that companies will spend so much to keep their employees down instead of just paying more
ReplyTime for a FRENCH REVOLUTION! Let the Billionaires eat cake!
ReplyI grew up thinking unions are bad and corrupt cause all of the mafia movies. Blame hollywood and martin scorese.
ReplyIf Congress stepped up, lol never gonna happen
ReplyI worked for Target and Walmart. And we were encouraged to not unionize if we wanted to keep our jobs. And we asked to expose anyone who mention a union. lol
ReplySad – but funny!
