If they actually want to prevent a union, the company needs to proactively offer comparable benefits as the union would get.
But if they don’t want a union, it’s probably because they don’t want to do that. Which is why the workers definitely need a union.
Edit: spelling
Well, when “good vibes” can pay my fucking bills then we can talk, until then, anyone standing against Unions and Workers Rights can go gargle a salty, umwashed ballsack.
REI has always relied on its status as a buyer cooperative to be conflated with a worker cooperative.
I gotta be honest, until somewhat recently, I always though it was the later as well, which of course is why they conflate the two.
Any company with an anti-uniom stance immediately makes me assume the workers there need a union. If a company is truly providing for the workers and has their best interests in mind then they would be all for a union since it would allow them to get a better idea of what their workers as a whole want/need.
