As in, it helps working-class people, so of course conservatives are against them.
The trouble with idealist liberals is that they never, ever see the long-term effects of what they do.
If WM became unionized as a whole, it could force the company to scale back operations instead of expand, costing jobs. It would also mean higher prices on merchandise, which is of no help to the mostly working-class people who shop in the place, many who do so exclusively.
I mean, the idea of a union sounds okay on paper, but unions so often become political puppets of the left. The less of those we have, the better off we all are.
