Target corporation created a cheesy video trying to scare workers from joining a union. Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

The actors here are Ric Reitz (from the new Green Lantern movie and Remember the Titans) and Nicky Buggs (from The Secret Life of Bees, Army Wives)...guess which organization they belong to?

1. Oooo! Unions Bad!

So the massas at Target are telling us that if the blight of unionism should ever infect their store service will suffer as a result? OK, I live in a "right to work" state, so unions -especially in service jobs like retail stores- pretty much don't exist here. So if I go into a store and the service sucks, now whose fault is it? Can't blame the union. Maybe I should complain to the manager about that ingrate store clerk who didn't snap shit good enough when the store is paying him $7.25 an hour to lick the stray fecal matter from my ass and get him fired! That would show him! After all, there are 6 or 7 people for every job opening out there- Maybe the next one will not only work for minimum wage, but won't complain when they don't give him benefits...
