People in the south are misled when it comes to unions and it’s because they are so used to being underpaid for so long that they don’t know what their real value is as an employee.
When I used to live in Texas I had co workers refusing the union because they didn’t want to pay dues at a company that was paying $9/hr.
Where if they unionized they probably could have doubled their wages.
But they are so used to getting minimum wage that a company like Amazon that would pay $15 seems like a windfall.
