    My father ran a company that tried to unionize in the early 90s. I remember watching a scare-video that I found on VHS that was made to promote anti-union propaganda when I was a teen. I bought all of it, as a young person with no outside info. Unions bad, evil things!

    Brainwashed is right.

    Oh, I can’t leave without adding this, since you mentioned OSHA:

      That OSHA warning is great.

      It sounds like I’m about the same age as you. Yeah, it’s crazy how well it worked. I remember those VHS too. They were so awkward. It’s also crazy how many people my age STILL thinks things like unions, OSHA, workers rights, never talking to other employees about your wages, etc are bad. Like does no one look around?
