Where are all these anti-union users coming from?!

I noticed lately that this subreddit has had a lot of anti-union comments recently. I find it ironic that people who are against organized labor would be here, which leads me to believe that it’s probably right wing trolls. It’s always disheartening to see working class people simping for abuse. I also noticed that where I work (union shop), we’ve been getting letters in the mail from the “freedom foundation” urging us to drop the union. I’m wondering if other union members are also getting those and maybe it’s all related (freedom foundation type actively trying to urge people to drop their unions while sending trolls to places like this or maybe I’m just paranoid). Sorry for the rant, was just wondering how other people see this.

Remember, you are being rented by the hour like a hot tub, only for a lot less.

Remember an entire year of being rented is still less than a brand new truck.

Fired for discussion of wages and saying I didn’t like my job out loud, they wrote it down as “intimidation and coercion” when they fired me.

New York, contacted a lawyer who wanted $18,000 and 1/3rd of the winnings, which I don't have considering I was just fired. This was a first-offense. HR already didn't like me due to a previous argument, and I'm trying to figure things out here. The person I had spoken with was a new employee and I was just having a civil discussion and asking questions, but the person who reported me was listening in and claimed that I said I wanted to “get the company”, whatever that means.
