We are taught not to share what our wages are and to compete against and rat out our co-workers, all for the benefit of The Company and often the detriment of ourselves and other working class people.
I often see people vehemently against lower skill jobs like fast-food earning a living wage simply because “I do x and I don’t make that much, why should they?”
That kind of attitude is exactly what they want you to have because in reality better wages for fast-food employees would force your employer to also raise wages.
They want us actively keeping each other down.
Unions are powerful because they bring members of the working class together.
It’s not even just politics either.
