"Companies bully unions because organizing for a fair wage, decent hours, and better health care can hurt the CEO's take-home pay.

Big companies routinely use intimidation to prevent employees from organizing, including one you may be patronizing (or working for) right now. This is a reenactment of something that really happened multiple times in an NYC T-Mobile store. We fact-checked it. Keep in mind this is not just about a company opposing its employees unionizing. As you'll see at 1:22, this company took that one very unethical step further."
