*slick commercial dude voice* It’s long been a management myth that unions are something awful, that you absolutely want to keep out of your company, but did you know that in companies with a unionized workforce, workplace theft and sabotage drop by one third?  What about the fact that union workers are 25% more productive than their nonunion counterparts?  Need for disciplinary actions also drops dramatically in union shops as workers feel significantly more invested in the company.

No expensive team building retreats necessary.

Your company’s lack of a union may be costing you money.

If that doesn’t convince you, look at this sexy demonstration where we had an undercover representative film both union and nonunion staff.  Look at how much more attentive and productive the union worker is.

Hiring nonunion workers may seem cheaper
now, but in the long run, union workers save you money.

Hire smart, hire union.

Reasons the IWW is an awesome organization:

1. Has admitted women and POC since its inception in the early 20th century.
2. When racially segregated unions went on strike they’d get as many of their black members across the picket line to scab as possible. They also referred to segregated unions as “social clubs” as snark.
3. They have a special fund to help pay for women and non-binary people to attend union events.
4. They admit and welcome sex workers.
5. They had a song called Rebel Girl waaaay before Kathleen Hanna.
6. They welcome and help undocumented immigrants.
7. Democracy is built into the foundations of the organization
8. They use an intersectional lens
9. Their song book is a ton of fun.
10. The union card you get is super cute.
