I'm not saying he meant anti-union by that line, but that's classic anti-union line saying my employees don't need unions.
Very much in line of "unions means less money for you" statement.
The whole "I love unions, but we at this company are a family so we don't need that", is peak anti-union talk. Throughout history it's been used by people who are horrible to their employees.
Exactly. If I was really concerned about my employees etc. I would want them to have a union with power that could match mine to argue their needs and concerns. If he had a union a lot of these problems and mistakes that he's having likely wouldn't have occurred.
True. If he said that line in response to a statement about wages. I can't say that I exactly remember the context in which he made that statement, but I believe that it (ironically, given this post) had more to do with workplace culture than wages.
It's not unusual for several people to have the same rational thought process. That's why it's "classic".
