    For union dues, I’ll sometimes bring up strikes. People know that when unions strike, they aren’t working, and when they aren’t working, they aren’t getting paid. What they don’t realize is that most unions pay the employees during strikes, and that money has to come from somewhere.

      You’re literally partially making sure you still get PAID when shit happens.

      Very good point, and I honestly wonder how common that knowledge even is.

      Then again, almost all anti-union propaganda hinges on people not knowing enough about the subject to call it out. As with most propaganda.
