Anatomy of a Captive Audience Meeting

Captive audience meetings are used by managers to propagate anti-union messaging into thousands of workplaces every year. These meetings require workers to sit and listen to their bosses for hours and are filled with veiled threats, hollow promises, all while casting haunting descriptions of unions and organizers. Research shows that the presence of captive meetings alone can hold significant influence over workers' chances to win their election and union. This segment is a tool for workers, organizers, and the general public to experience a sample of captive audience meeting's emotional tricks so when they're confronted with them in real life, the meetings will have less influence.
