Lower taxes, less regulation, less enforcement, maybe some union busting and general worker suppression.

    I hear they pay pretty good. I don’t think they have a union problem.

    It's a menu to choose from. Not a list where everything has to be true for it to apply.

    But how brain washed do you have to be to call unions a problem. Unless you own the business. In which case you only have yourself to blame for making the workers angry enough to organize.

    You are reading way too much much into that phrasing. My parents were both in unions and I’m pro union. Relax.

    Edit: also I don’t really even like Buc-ee’s. I went once, it was a gas station… I never went again lol.

    I just hear they pay well from people I’ve known who worked there.

    I read "union problem" as "a problem that can be fixed with a union" such as low pay. But yeah, just because your company isn't currently choosing to exploit its workers doesn't mean they won't choose to later - the trick is to prevent them from having the choice in the first place.

    A union doesn't have to be an antagonistic force, exclusively beating exploitative companies into submission - it can just be the voice of the workers to speak on equal terms with an attentive employer, working together to grow the business for the benefit of everyone, instead of just those in the executive suite.
