They’d all get written up for standing around bullshitting like that at a real Walmart.

It’s a big red flag whenever an employer calls their employees “associates”

If a union wasn't beneficial to workers, the companies wouldn't spend so much time and money convincing you they are bad.

I’ve never seen this many Walmart employees in the store at once.

Here's a cheat for you: if a corporation tells you it's bad, then it's actually good.

I used to bring in $70k as a union carpenter. All They did was take my 50$ a month and support politicians I wouldn't vote for. NOW I MAKE $8 HOUR working for Walmart and life is so much easier. 🙃

Getting some serious cult vibes from this

The fact the video started with walmart associates having the time to have a heart to heart on the store floor just shows what BS this video is.

The best thing about a union was that there was a set of rules everyone has to follow. Management could not make up rules or change employee policies whenever they feel like it. Nor could you be fired just because your boss is having a bad day. I got paid 23 an hour to drive a forklift back when i started in the early 2000s. We had paid 15 min breaks every two hours. We could not work more than 5 hours before getting a lunch break. The company had to give us 48 hours notice of any change in schedule. They could not force us to work during lunch breaks. 8 hour workdays with no forced OT. Weekends were paid at 1.5. If management gave you any hassle, you could go straight to your committeeman without fear of managers retaliating or firing you. We also got a pension and 160 hours of PTO. Health insurance was covered 100 percent. All for 55 dollars a month. If i ever went to work, the first thing id do is join a union.

I worked at Walmart for a few months..... I showed up drunk every day and was considered one of their better employees

Russ quit the union because he thought they where taking his money... Now he works at walmart.

This isn't a training video, it's propaganda.

I guarantee all of those actors are all in the Screen Actor's Guild.

I have spent over 40 years working in various outside sales jobs. The best job I ever had was working as an unionized Sales rep for the Verizon Yellow Pages. I made the most amount of money I ever made at that job. I had superior benefits and great vacation time. When the job ended because no one was using the Yellow Pages anymore I received a great severance package all because of the union.

Wow that guy left the union to work at Walmart! LOL

Thanks for the helpful advice actors who would crawl over broken glass to get a SAG-AFTRA card!

"I used to have one of those union jobs but no more I work for walmart now" lmfao

This video explains why everyone who works at Walmart hates their job.

How much you wanna bet that these are all Union actors?

The reason why the Walton children are among the richest billionaires in the world.

I was making 20/hr in a union. But now I'm out of the union and make 5 bucks an hour and I think that's the best decision I ever made.

My union takes 2% of my pay each year.....I also get paid double what I would in a non-union environment. It's WELL WORTH that 2%.

Russ: I used to be in a union too until I was shown their true nature by my Walmart supervisor at my -mandatory reeducation session- voluntary training workshop. *Blink, blink, nod, smile, breath* -please help me electroshock therapy is taking my soul there are four lights!!!!- I'm so glad that I don't contribute to unions that support politicians I don't vote for. Instead the higher ups are smarter and lobby politicians I don't even vote for instead. No wait I didn't mean it! Please don't take me back to "the room"!

Except Walmart uses union labor to build their stores, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to not have a vote. The Employee Free Choice Act isn't law yet.

If you fight against the union you fight against your self. The union is made up of workers that stick together to fight for their rights in the workplace. No body should be left on their own without help to fight abuse and bad management at work. My union charges £3.00 a week..a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” - John Steinbeck

That guy was a union worker now he's making $7 hour at Walmart 👍

The Walmart cheer they make employees do in public out on the floor is so cringe. I felt so embarrassed for them.

Love this brainwashing idea. The money taken out which is $39 a month dues goes towards benefits and retirement. This is so bullshit. Who'd want to quit a skilled trades union making more than $27-45/hr depending on our trade to go work at Walmart 😂😂🤣🤣

I'm a teacher assistant and I'm supposed to get supplemental pay every time I cover a class (so literally every day). My school tried to pay me 1.9 hours of supplemental for the entire month until the union helped me out🙌

"Russell" was in a Fedex anti-union propaganda video as well. One of the most important aspects of a union contract in all of the places I worked that were union. Is the SENIORITY factor. The longer you put in your time with the company, the better your schedules are, pay, vacation time, etc. They can't schedule you for 25 hours one week and 4 the next.

Walmart's "open door" policy really means you're free to use the exit.

I remember having to watch this video. Walmart is the worst.

If this was real, after about 45 seconds, the wal mart manager would have came by and called them all worthless, told them to quit lolligagging and get back to work.

It's crazy. I'm still yet to find a single person that had an issue with being in a union yet in this commercial there are 3.

I remember when I worked at Walmart they had us watch a video similar to this during orientation. The whole idea Walmart cares about their employees is a total joke. In recent years they just keep taking from their employees more and more.

Now ask how much she benefitted from her idea vs how much the Waltons themselves have benefitted. They aren't idea generators. You don't think the Waltons are taking your money and spending it on political campaigns? Specifically political campaigns that keep your wages low

This video is bs, if a manager were to see them talking like this, they would immediately have an assistant break it up and call each person to the office to see what was being discussed.

I just started at Walmart and had orientation yesterday. Every retail company is like this. Anti-Union. I'm not defending Walmart and I worked for places like Home Depot and Target, which are the same, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

Just standing around, not working, ignoring customers. Great training video!

I’m a (thank goodness) former Walmart associate and I remember the anti union video I watched during my orientation. It showed ugly and angry people protesting and then described them as greedy and deceptive people looking to trick poor innocent hourly Walmart workers into giving them a bite of each paycheck. Of course they failed to mention that unions take only a few dollars from each paycheck and the worker is unlikely to mind since each paycheck could be several times larger than what Walmart would be giving them. As usual, the devil is in the details.

Oh so this is what employees are doing when I need a video game out of their gun safe.

And all of these actors got pensions from the actor's guild i'm sure.

“You can’t treat the working man this way! One day we’ll form a union, and get the fair and equitable treatment that we deserve! But then we’ll go too far, and become corrupt and shiftless, and the Japanese will eat us alive!”

0:31 Stalking is illegal.

"Yessa maaaaaam, ol' missa Walton always believed in ownin' himself a lick o' slaves, don't beleeb da haype 'bout nun o dat nonsensically upraizin' shit" now gimme head Sheila!!!

Shady af propaganda. Just for this crap, Walmart deserves to have their employees unionize.

I swear if my employer pulls something like this to us, I'm fucking organizing

Without a union you wouldn’t be able to stand around talking without getting reprimanded.

When I worked at Walmart if we talked that long we would get written up lol

I work for union I make something like $23hr, a authorizathed retailer of the same company who isn't union makes 11hr. So ya I'll stick to the union

Well thank ya kindly, Mistah Walton.

I love the racial stereotyping. "Mr. Walton (ole massa) is a good man..."

This isn't realistic; at a real Walmart, they would get coached for just standing around and not doing anything

Never work for company that doesn't have a union

It’s almost comical how anti union this ad is

"the associates asked for a raise and walton told us to kiss his old rich ass. yeah unions are bad. next week old man walton is eliminating positions across the board for no reason. i'll be unemployed but at least no union"

"I signed the card just to get the union off my back, but I didn't get a vote." That was your vote, you signed the card saying you wanted a union. Somehow this feels more insulting than the dude written to say he prefers making minimum wage to having a union position.

Geebus crisps in a dump truck. I am a former Walmart employee that joined a union the first chance I got. Holy Propaganda Batman!

I had to watch this same damn video when i worked there. Unions make America great!

for some reason its bad for a union to take a little bit of money if they are able to negotiate a big pay increase for you??? corporations believe their workers are morons

Well spoken people projecting intelligence. They work at Walmart for sure.

“We recognize our associates” Bro my sister had my mom call into Walmart because she couldn’t make her shift since she was in the hospital, and literally NO ONE in management knew who she was. They had to look up her name to confirm that she even existed😂

I remember this video! And rolling my eyes 😂 I saw the 2016ish version during hiring. i may have forgotten to mention to my managers that my stepdad is a union rep and i told him about this delightful film.

Ronald Reagan: there's something strange, in the neighborhood.. who ya gonna call? UNION BUSTERS!!

Thank you for this video.

They missed the part where 30 seconds into the conversation a manager comes over and tells them that conversation was their break for the day and to get back to work now

Had this kind of propagranda shown during training for Food City. It was a guy in a fancy kitchen basically saying "A union? What a ridiculous idea, you don't need that you silly billy."

I worked at a Dollar General in 2021, there was a BIG Anti-Union bit in our training videos

Those are the best looking, most put together people I have EVER seen in a Wal-Mart. Furthermore, that is the first Asian I have ever seen in a Wally World.

⚠️ Don't rush a shipment! You could rupture your lower department docking area.

Here at Wal-Mart, we LISTEN to our employees. That's why at Wal-Mart: everywhere you look, everything and everyone looks the same, acts the same, and does the same thing for the same wages and the same prices. Rollback: I've always rejected unions - but after watching this, I might get a job at Wal-Mart so I can join one.

Hahahhahahaaa These actors were paid more for this clip than a walmart employee get’s paid in three months.....

my mom probably had to watch this LMAOO

I was watching Superstore and saw these types of training videos on there . I had no idea these were actually real 😳

Lol they still play anti union videos in training

The way this is shot, it looks like an 80s sitcom, only without the laugh track.

I remember watching these videos when I worked at Wal-Mart.

There’s something so 2000s about this commercial that brings me nostalgia

Best part about these videos is the roles are being played by actors who are in a Union.

"Massa Walton"

Note to Businesses: If you don't want the union, then treat your employees right and you won't have to produce these anti-union "Training" films.

guys i lost mom at the grocery store i need help finding her mom if you are reading this im at the candy isle im scared

21 years later. This video needs to be scraped from existence lol

"Yeah! We at Wal-Mart listen to our associates ideas! Those associates who came up with ideas about our work schedules? Well we implemented that idea and took all the credit! Didn't even have to bother offering a bonus or raise or anything! Those associates? 10 years later they're still associates! They sure love working here!"

I had a union job but now I work at Walmart…Yeah right

I like how these guys "used to be Union" and now... They work at Wal-Mart🤣

Wish this was just a product of the past... Office max and office depot has one that's still used that's basically the same thing

I feel like there's something in " Russell's" work history he's not telling us about

The fact this on my top video after quitting from walmart.

My friend just sent me this after I announced to my friends that I joined a union

As a Chilean, this feels like an "evil corporation parody"... And I have no idea if I should be surprised with the fact that it's an old video already.

Russell & Donna are both Actors that have played in a lot of things over the decades...lol

I used to work for them back in 2010 - 2013. They still use these antiunion videos. They're known as the "third party".

Trucker with the teamsters here.... Home daily, weekends off, 8 hours only work, paid by the hour, benefits, and $70k a year.

I vividly remember this video...

A comfort to the widow, a light to the child ...

I love the way the dude laughs when he said “I was a union worker… oh, *member*” as if he’s subtly mocking the phraseology. Walmart calls it’s employees “associates”!!

I worked at a walmart once and they would fire you if you even said the word Union.

Four workers standing around talking and not helping any customers. They absolutely nailed every Walmart I’ve ever been to.
