This will be news to no one bar those who have drunk the kool-aid or who sit in dusty public sector enclaves, far away from the fray. Nevertheless, a useful summary - from, as it happens, the left (of the Bernie Sanders sort).

“There’s kind of a jiujitsu, to get employees thinking about racial justice issues, at least superficially, as a way to deflect labor and collective bargaining”
“When workers at vegan food company No Evil Foods [products include - El Zapatista fake chorizo and ‘Comrade Cluck’ fake chicken ] which makes imitation meat products sold at Whole Foods and other upscale groceries, held captive audience anti-union seminars, the company warned workers about the “old white guys” in union leadership and compared union dues to taxpayers funding President Donald Trump’s golf junkets.
In other records leaked out of the No Evil Foods seminars, workers were warned that unions were hotbeds of sexism and sexual harassment, and did not share the vegan food manufacturer’s progressive values. The union drive at the firm ultimately failed.”
“McEnany noted that when he worked on a campaign to organize workers at Mapbox, a technology firm that provides custom online maps, management responded with accusations of bigotry, claiming efforts to prevent the offshoring of jobs reeked of “xenophobia.” (a constant refrain of of yours truly, but then I’ve seen it at first hand time and again, and fought it - to my considerable cost, though nothing like the cost of those it destroyed - rather than relying on pop stars or guardianistas to explain the world to me).
Fuck it, it’s almost all quotable. Turn your employees - and everyone in society - against each other based on race, sex, gender, whatfuckinever; undermine any basis for collectivism and… profit. Sleep well knowing that all the world’s silverspoons and a surprising number of well insulated people who should nevertheless know better, will do most of the work for you. Freeee moneeeee.
Breaking Unions With the Language of Diversity and Social Justice
A thin veneer of progressive rhetoric and DEI initiatives are being used to mask harsh labor conditions.
