Looks good. For me, I don’t even know what I’d say to try and convince people to join a union because I can’t for the life of me understand people who are anti union unless they are one of the very few people who benefit financially from anti worker laws.
My sister (Management) said to me everyone in the union at her work is a troublemaker. I don’t particularly like my sister or management.
Management and HR get frequent "trainings" about existing unions and so even if they weren't predisposed to anti-union beliefs, they very quickly will fall in line. Management will tell them the same lies they tell workers like they can't approve raises, can't approve promotions, can't help workers etc because "the union" is "in the way". It's hard enough to convince workers they literally are the union but management has no incentive to believe that and will do everything in their power to third party the union so unaware workers get fed up. It starts with painting organizers as troublemakers.
Usually it's people who still buy the "if I work really hard to impress my boss I'll get a piece of the pie one day" stuff.
(Edit: the opposite is usually true. If you're too productive at your lower level job they won't want to promote you because it would affect the numbers that management takes credit for. Saying in my trade: "if you get promoted it's because you can't insulate but the boss likes you")
They see the union as a way for the undeserving workers to get a leg up while also removing their ability to be chosen by the boss to ascend to management
