Target's Anti-Union Propaganda Video

All new Target employees are forced to watch this video so that they are indoctrinated into fearing unions. It's filled with misrepresentations, deceptions, and even outright lies, because Target knows that its employees desperately need a union.

If you're a Target employee, please don't be deceived by your bosses. Target Corporation made over 2.9 billion dollars last year. You deserve better wages, benefits, and working conditions, and your employer can afford to give them to you.

If you want to learn more about your rights and are interested in organizing, please contact the Industrial Workers of the World, a union for all workers that can help empower you on the job:

Don't trust the boss. Organize and get what's yours.

This must be an older one. The newer anti-union video, in my opinion, is a lot more ridiculous and full of bs (but this one is pretty ridiculous too).

@TheHeidiOfTheOpera

I haven't seen the new one yet. Do you by any chance know where I can find it?

Voice of experience: Working at Target SUCKS.

Oh, and you'll all be happy to know that I got to watch a brand new anti-union video when I started there last month.

I would really appreciate it if you could find a way to get your hands on it. People need to know the kind of horseshit workers get fed if they're going to understand how bosses force the results of union elections.

I saw this one on my first day! Oh, good times.

@NiceGuyCody Cody, why don't you quit UPS and go to work for Fed Ex? We Teamsters don't need a person with your hatred in our Union. Over at Fed Ex , they will love a guy like you, of course they will pay you 6-7 bucks an hour less, and you won't have near the retirement you would at UPS, but you will be .. NON UNION. Right up your alley.

If you are a working person who opposes unions, you have been made a fool for capital. You are being used to oppose your own best interests. Unions are not the boogeyman. Unions are not a "third-party". Unions are the workers of the world joining together to secure a voice and to protect their interests. Unions are you.

"One of the eternal conflicts out of which life is made up is that between the effort of every man to get the most he can for his services, and that of society, disguised under the name of capital, to get his services for the least possible return. Combination on the one side is patent and powerful. Combination on the other is the necessary and desirable counterpart, if the battle is to be carried on in a fair and equal way."

"Friedman based all of his arguments in fantastical theory."

"ramblings of a debunked idealist"

That's so ADORABLE coming from a collectivist-totalitarianist. It's almost enough to make you forget that socialism has spread nothing but poverty, oppression and mass murder.

[NiceGuyCody]

@00maharum00ma

"Being opposed to mass murder has nothing to do with being intolerant towards views that aren't socialist."

lolwut? Mass murder and socialism go together like a ball bearing to a magnet. Just as do socialism and the unrelenting censorship of anything that dare expose the propaganda of the Party, something you've proven to be quite fond of.

"A wage slave is someone "

No, "wage slave" is an oxymoronic Orwellian red herring devised by socialists/communists to divert attention away from the fact that the absolutist and genocidal political dogma of totalitarian-collectivism they worship is de facto slavery.

Working at UPS, we're forced by the Union to copy and spam letters promoting their political propaganda to congressmen and senators and act as if they were our own ideas and words. To say nothing of the thugs who wait outside the guard shack each night to bully and coerce people to vote for specific teamster candidates that will preserve the status quo and practically extort even more money for their corrupt non-charity,

So, yeah, you're basically a damn liar.

@MetalTeamster

Too bad the Union "representation" comes down to, "We'll take a huge chunk of your pay to split between ourselves and our political bedmates, and you can go fuck yourself."
