These posters should be illegal.
It's a nice reminder that one is in a capitalist hellhole. Like taken from a dystopian game.
is this poster real tho?
Seems low effort
The individual poster may or may not be real, but anti-union 'training' and propaganda are definitely real.
It is real.
See: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/delta-unions/ and https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/5/10/18564745/delta-anti-union-video-game-poster
Apparently it’s real.

I saw it firsthand. I think it’s an older campaign though, that was a few years ago.
Is this dystopian game something I can afford with my savings from not paying union dues?
In a lot of countries it would be illegal.
In a lot of countries the unions became powerful enough to be governments, and implemented anti-union busting laws.
For some reason the United States seems to have skipped a bunch of the social development that went on in other countries. Unfortunately this is probably because of the American psyche and their obsession with the idea that rags to riches is possible, despite all the evidence. So nobody wants to limit their own potential wealth by giving away money to the workers, just in case one day they become the wealthy. The end result is that a bunch of people have to work for Amazon.
I’ve seen several from this campaign and they’re so dumb I feel like someone was maliciously compliant in making these so that Delta’s opposition to the union would actually encourage more people to vote to join. Like, management came to someone in marketing, but that person actually wanted to support the union effort.
We have a husk of a shell that we once called the Supreme Court that decided that corporations have a right to free speech.
Toe that with all the benefits of a corporate entity and we end up where corporation speech is more free than that of a person.
Lol companies in America literally set union organizers' families on fire well before the modern supreme court.
The US government literally sent in their military to fight coal miners that were trying to unionize. They backed the coal mining companies. It's not a new thing.
Yes but that was also before propaganda was a class in college. Now they don't need to set things on fire, just convince a chunk of workers to vote against unions. The cost to suppress unions has never been cheaper.
While true, this shit was going on just as much back when they were "legitimate". Anti-Union mind games are an American tradition.
Yes and now we have no tools to fight it. There were rules against anti-union activities; union workers died for those rights.
That's all null and void and without a change at the highest levels, it will stay that way.
