(yes I know about zenni and warby parker, it is just a great example of the illusion of choice)

Yeah it's pretty much a global monopoly for eye glass frames so they can charge you hundreds of dollars
for a plastic glass frame.

Luxottica has also being doing buyouts of other once private companies like Oakley over the years.

Wiley X is still not owned by luxottica, their sunglasses are durable as hell and replacement lenses are cheap. My current pair is 9 years old, on the third set of lenses that were $25. My first pair is 16 years old and still intact, but lenses are long out of manufacture. Not bad for $90~ sunglasses.

Luxottica bought oakley 15 years ago, after they took oakley out of their stores because of pricing disputes. Lol.

Menards went to the supreme court to justify the CEO's 20 million salary about 15 years ago.
Remember peons, the CEO gave you a buck an hour while he got 20+ milion nowadays.
Now you wouldn't want the CEO to cry if you formed a union now would you.

I wonder if "If you unionize, we'll get rid of profit-sharing" counts as an illegal threat.

The whole thing is worded incredibly strangely in so many ways, like one person at corporate wrote it, nobody proofread it and nobody ran it past legal. "With a union, you do not get that benefit" is a pretty... direct statement to make. I mean I guess they don't have to care because it's not like they'll ever get punished for it in 2021 America so whatever, but yeah. It really sounds like it's just written by the person who writes the rest of the company newsletter, hell it sounds exactly like the voice the company newsletter for the company I work at is written in. Ours is written by a far too excited lady who's always got way too much energy and I could totally see her, for example, looking up a list of irrelevant social media networks just to make sure she got them all.

guarantee that whatever your contract gets is more reliable than what the company would give you without a contract.

like they'll juice the numbers for a single year following union threat but the second year it's back to the basement bonus values.

The lady that writes ours also doesn't know how to write a newsletter for adults because she includes mazes and word searches and incredibly basic trivia fun facts like it's for 2nd graders. At first I thought it was just for you to take home to your kids but subsequent issues have made it very clear that she expects you the employee to be connecting the dots to find out who stole the sugar cookies from under the Christmas tree.
