You do realize that you are talking shit don't you. Unions helped workers get better pay. With better pay, many companies found them to be great customers. Because they had the money to buy what they were selling.
Please, you can't BS a BSr.
If companies really believed that, they would all have unions. In fact, you don't need a union to pay your workers better to buy your product, you can do that all by yourself.
But that's an old wives tale stemming back to the Henry Ford days. If I manufacture widgets, and I overpay my employees so they would buy the widgets they make, how many widgets would I be able to sell to my employees? 100, 200, 400???
That's not enough sales to keep the company open one week. Everybody outside of my company employees are looking for the cheapest widgets, and I can't pay my employees top salary and compete with my foreign competitors at the same time. I have to make a choice.
