The Young Turks Owner Urges Employees Not to Unionize

I didn't say that. Perhaps you need to re-read what I posted, and you quoted? And when you do, please keep in mind that labor is a form of capital.

"Isn't it weird how 'free markets' to some people mean that labor must be forcibly stopped from organizing and collectivizing in the same way that capital does within free markets?"

How is labor being forcibly stopped from organizing?

Make an example by putting the fear of the almighty corporation in them via their employment or sudden lack of for all to see, and getting away with it because most of the politicians are beholden to corporate donors and know the most they will get is a fine or slap on the hand legally..

The Walmart video is correct about at least one thing: Most of the recent unionization votes at Walmart stores in the U.S. were unsuccessful. For example, the tire and lube workers at two Walmart stores, in Colorado and Pennsylvania, voted overwhelmingly in 2005 against unionizing. But the UFCW had a big success in 2004, when it unionized a Walmart in Jonquiere, Quebec—a first in North America.

Walmart closed that store shortly afterward, and Canada’s Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the shutdown was an illegal ploy to avoid having a union. Walmart has long argued that it closed the Jonquiere store because it was unprofitable and that the closing had nothing to do with the union. As for Walmart’s decision to suddenly begin using prepackaged meat after that meat department in Texas unionized in 2000, the company said that the timing was just a coincidence and that the decision had nothing to do with unionization.

This past April, Walmart abruptly announced it was closing its store in Pico Rivera, California, along with four other stores, for six months. Many workers saw that as a daunting anti-union statement—the Pico Rivera store has the nation’s most militant OUR Walmart chapter, having staged a sit-in and numerous other protests. Walmart, however, insisted that the closing was necessitated by “ongoing plumbing issues.”

And of course we have the richest man in the world who is anti union but because he is a Trump hater he can get away with hating on unions, thanks to spineless liberals who would have no problem threatening an economic boycott of a state over its discriminatory bathroom policies.

Fine, but persuasion is not force.

BMW also isn't a shit car in reality. Pretty much all manufacturers have known, specific issues that are pretty easy to deal with as part of routine maintenance. ....BMW is just very expensive.

I thought BMW now included 3 years scheduled maintenance with every new car sold/leased? Many of my friends who drive BMWs either lease them for 3 years or buy them certified pre-owned (just don’t ever get suckered into buying their “courtesy vehicles” when they’re up for sale!)

This is similar to Bernie only condemning "billionaires" (and not millionaires) now that he's a millionaire.

Are you saying there's something wrong with being a millionaire?

You didn't answer my question. Why do you believe it's wrong to be a millionaire?

Nope, nothing wrong with millionaires. It appears the point of the thread whooshed over your head. I'll mamabird>babybird you because I'm a kind Christian man:

Millionaire bernie used to criticize millionaires until he became one.
TYT are progressives who are seemingly labor-friendly and pro-union until it applies to them.

"The union push has made for some awkwardness at organizations with liberal reputations, where management may resist collective bargaining despite overseeing labor-friendly coverage."

And smoke isn't fire, but do we wait for the house to burn down first before trying to prevent it so our absolutist beliefs are not offended.

Millionaires dont have the power to buy governments, billionaires do. There's a difference in scale. Some propagandists just pretend they cant tell the difference to engage in fake outrage distractions.
