Reply to comment by [deleted] in PSA: Starbucks on Shelburne Rd in South Burlington is only unionized Starbucks in VT by willynillyslide

Vermont doesn't need more business from companies that choose to do business here because they can exploit Vermont residents more than they can exploit residents of another state, it needs businesses that can pay a thriving wage, and unions are a way to guarantee that. Almost no businesses are just going to hand over a thriving wage without being made to.

Collective bargaining rights are the foil to corporations' ability to lobby the federal government.

Yeah, let's be real, because all of the businesses in Vermont aren't part of the skiing industry or skiing-adjacent industries.
