Don't trust unions - they can't guarantee you benefits. Trust us, we guarantee the most exploitative conditions as long as you don't organise!

That sarcasm is incredably subtle. Those on reddit tricked/paid to promote that sentiment would include your first sentence almost verbatim.

Don't trust unions - they can't guarantee you benefits.

Divided you beg. United you bargain.

Absolutely true, godspeed my friend

Assuming thats a response to me since this app sucks and its hard to tell, its true. Pension funds go to shit and get "borrowed" out of all the time. I like the benefits I get, but I'm not brainwashed either. Its not all positives.

Exactly, and it sucks for that exact reason!

Fucking autocorrect....

Well, they can't. Let's be real. That's a bad angle to argue from. LONG list of all the positives and truths, but don't use that one unless you very easily want to get shut down and look foolish. I left my last 2 jobs because of the corporate end going stupid and pensions being iffy, both of them have since filed for bankruptcy.
