Home Depot openly discourages unions

I know that this shouldn't be a shock to anyone on this platform but I was watching some coverage on the Amazon stuff coming out of Alabama when a memory hit me when they were talking about some “special training”. Back when I started working at Home Depot (HD), they have video training that everyone does at the time of hiring. One of the videos they have a skit of some type union organizer trying to talk to an employee. They say in the video to politely turn them down because unions don't have the power to argue pay and benefits. I'm now in a very different profession and a great company but it really bothers me now as to how much better my time at HD could have been if I were to have been in a general labor union.
