The end result for the employee is the same. Very likely you and I, and statistically, 99% of the people potentially reading this.

Its not though. The employee is far more likely to win the wage theft case than the union firing case and I just think its wrong to try and dissuade people from fighting this issue. Its actively harmful to people to push that kind of a narrative.

I’m not dissuading anyone. Just laying our real world consequences for doing so. I’ve personally seen very little success with wage theft, the most common form of theft by the longest shot ever, compared with seeing companies unionize like once a month minimum. It helps more people and you’re not just risking it by yourself.
People doing both would be great, but let’s not pretend either will be just peachy.
