My business just had two meeting recently, one was about "the seriousness of unionization", and the second was regarding a potential shift change because they are unable to fill 20+ positions and people keep leaving.

I would like to preface the seriousness of this with some historical facts about the business: they on average used to pay $12-$15 over competitors (now equal to or even less than), they used to offer pensions (Not any more), they used to have a call list of over 200 applicants (for decades) of whom they could call up and offer a job and those people would quit and jump on board (they can't hire from anywhere in the country or Puerto Rico with relocation bonuses included). And the average length of a workers term was 28 years (now just under 5).

Very much not Lowes's, though I doubt people would travel 1-2 states over to work at Lowe's

Walking from one end of Lowe’s to the other is like going to a different state to take a 15 minute break
