Antiwork

I worked for a supermarket that underpaid their staff, timed checkout staff to see if they scanned fast enough, timed workers on clearing food deliveries, forced staff to stay late whenever they decided to do a stocktake, forced staff to clock out at 8pm yet made them do close downs which took around 20 minutes or longer.

Apparently they've done a lot to fight off unions. According to my brother this place employs a lot of blue-collar white males who love the Trump culture. On the other hand, it's seems obvious that all the Starbucks and Apple store workers who want to unionize are probably mostly liberal/democrat voting. Some questions… Are there any unions that anyone can think of that has a lot of Trumpers/Republicans? And perhaps they're oblivious to what the Republican party stands for wrt unions?
