"they were told by the company management that they weren’t educated enough to have a union to speak for them"

Moreover, unemployment rates aren't the same for all levels of education.

If the workers in general begin unqualified, performing the job for some period of time enables them to become qualified. This is a common way to improve one's skill set, and is an additional form of compensation.

As for confidence, it appears that many of them are not passively accepting their management's claim that they are insufficiently educated to do anything (in fact, there is nothing stopping them from forming a union, although there is no guarantee that YoungFast's management would choose to do business with it).



True; however since there tend to be far more people at the lower lower education levels than higher, the rate at that level is likely to be relatively close to the average (and the rate for the few at higher levels much less).

These employees time would be used more effectively in increasing their individual skill sets than harassing customers of their employer -- the latter tends to be counterproductive, as it is likely to reduce the employer's customer base (and hence motivation to retain employees).
