When I included "Most Management" in the sentence it was in regards to your statement that "Most believe it was out of fear and desperation because of the support they've continued to lose throughout the company." Most management will tell you that everyday and keep telling you until you believe it to be true, regardless if it is or not. Union busting 101.
