They're using it as a union busting tool without mention that the raises only come as union shops settled a landmark contract.

Hopefully, the workers will realize it was actually the UAW that got them these 25% raises. UAW head Shawn Fain is well aware of the situation and will be actively courting these workers to join the worker movement to better their lives.
