I've had to sit through one of these union-busting presentations. It was complete BS, full of lies and veiled threats. Our employees are our greatest asset? Riiiiiight.

Ciabattoni's meetings at Guitar Center were voluntary for workers. Though it has accused Guitar Center of unfair labor practices, RWDSU has not alleged that Ciabattoni ran afoul of labor law.
 
Pettit, the worker from Independence, came away from the whole experience believing Ciabattoni was a wise investment by Guitar Center. She didn't care for her time with the consultant -- "That's two hours of my life I'll never get back," she said -- but Ciabattoni seemed to have a strong rapport with a group of young male workers who spent hours with him over the course of days, she conceded.
 
Pettit describes herself as an early and adamant supporter of the union, believing that Guitar Center had squeezed its employees for too long. She believed RWDSU had a solid majority of Independence employees in its corner when they filed for recognition. But by the time the election rolled around, Ciabattoni had likely pulled at least one "yes" vote into the "no" column, Pettit said.

GC unionized?  Great.  Now the service will be even worse, yet the workers will be paid more?  Yeah, that makes sense... 

It was only after glancing around the room and seeing Boone, the one armed chainsaw juggler, Gristlene, the recent lard-bobbing champion, and Jud, the village idiot, that Bocephus from Keyboards realized he may have joined the wrong union.

Guitar Center???...What's that??...Oh, now I remember, that's the  place where all those wankin guitar want-a-be gremlins meet up on Saturday to make loud obnoxious noise and destroy new guitars.
