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.
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.
Indeed, the location in DeForest, Wisconsin is “on hold” because the village can’t afford the $17 million highway interchange for it. (No chance of the company helping fund it, nosiree, that’s communism or something.)
Business friendly just means lower corporate income tax I’m pretty sure.
Lower taxes, less regulation, less enforcement, maybe some union busting and general worker suppression.
Super shitty education system so you have a large pool of cheap labor
I hear they pay pretty good. I don’t think they have a union problem.

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.
What’s “a union problem”?

I’d say it just means socially worse for those folks, because a bad social net clearly corresponds 1:1 with corporate friendliness.
Or having the government pay for improvements that the business owners would normally have to do.

And fewer worker’s rights.
"Business friendly“ means friendly to “my” business. It always has. One company’s business friendly is another person’s business hostile.
