Perhaps if those that wish to organize would offer to pay those to hear their message, they could get more participants to listen. Many who want representation went to those anti-meetings also not because they were mandatory, but because they were paid to. We had many at my center who didn't attend those "mandatory" meetings because their minds were made up for one side or the other, some of the fence sitters went to hear the message, and others, like myself, simply went for the free money.
You claim ZERO effort for the company but I'll disagree, those meetings took planning, the handouts, the presentations, all cost money....and a lot of effort.
