How do I convince my girlfriend that unions are a good thing and encourage her to start one?

She is currently in a management position at a retail store. She is good friends with and has ties to quite a few of the managers of the other locations in her districts. They have all been facing greater workloads and stricter policies as a result of an upper management shift. I have suggested that she should consider the idea of forming a union, however I am ususally brushed off. She had a very negative experience with a union when she was working for a factory that has lead her to believe that unions are not beneficial to workers. That combined with the fear of retaliation has made it somthing of a moot point. Where could I find resources to show her the benefits of unions? Additionally, where could I find information on how to start one?

I’m a good supervisor

I’m a regional manager with 10 shops á 5-6 employees each, and I’m good with everyone. Everyone likes to work with me Why ? Why the FUCK would I be shitty to people whom I expect performance from? If I’m a good listener and try to help everyone with everything, people will like working with me at this workplace. I know every single one of my employees, I know their Hamsters name, their wedding dates and their hobby’s. They trust me and I trust them, and I drove 140 kilometers because a old employee asked me to cover his shift because his bird died, I came and made the shift. What will I achieve with Shiite attitude towards them, screaming or embarrass them? They would not enjoy working anymore and it would show in their performances and our daily income would go down . All I’m saying is good chefs…

Just because we want housing, doesn’t make us a communist.

Just because we want affordable housing, intervention from the government to help with said housing or livable wages does not mean we're communist, We just want to be able to live a life, there's no playing field anymore of course it's more beneficial and very comfortable to say that “well pull yourself up bootstraps” The problem with that is that we can't. The US government has spent so much money in the military that the only way to have an education is to go to the military, No different than South Korea and other Eastern countries were not going to the military is not an option. Even after getting out of the military You have limited options Because the civilians are struggling, shops are very small and can barely afford to pay people minimum wage And franchises are scamming the government by taking Covid relief money and other benefits while…

We are not all a team, and we are not in this together

Economists like Milton Friedman pushed back against the Marxist narrative that the working class (labor) and the owner class (capital) were two groups at odds with one another. These economists argue that we are all capitalists, some hold financial capital, some hold natural capital, some hold social capital, and some hold labor capital. In their view, there's no reason for people to come together and form unions or cooperatives because we are all in competition with one another. And they're right. In this system, global capitalism, we are all in competition. Therefore, it is foolish to agree to be a part of any company's “team.” We are not a team, we are not a family, we are individual market participants, each pursuing their own self interest. For them to ask you to be a team player is a violation of free market competition principles. You are a free agent, you…
