I can understand why a boss wouldn’t want a union, since it means less power and more money having to be shared with labor. I’d be the same where I wouldn’t want labor to unionize if I had a business, but not deluded enough to think it’s because I care about them that I’d take it as a moral failure if they unionized.

Its because I would prefer to take the position of the benevolent dictator compared to suddenly having the business shift to more of a democracy or republic. So that’s the motivation to be just nice enough for labor to not have thoughts or make moves to take away my power and money.

I guess its why I see through the flowery language. But, no boss would freely admit that so don’t really fault that him too much. But, do hope people see through the PR answer just so they too are aware of what’s actually going on in the minds of people they work for.
