Deep dives

No Evil Foods and the Union Drive

No Evil Foods, a company that claims to be progressive and worker-friendly, faced a union drive at its Asheville plant. The company engaged in union-busting tactics, including captive audience meetings and anti-union propaganda. The founders attempted to deny their actions, claiming they were simply providing information to employees. However, leaked audio recordings of the captive audience meetings exposed their true intentions. The workers' union drive was ultimately crushed, and the company later closed down the Asheville plant, leaving employees without severance pay. Despite their negative treatment of workers, the founders of No Evil Foods are now attempting to fundraise and restore their public image.
