Workplaces where employees are more individualistic and do not see themselves as similar to their coworkers are less likely to become unionized - even when working conditions are poor and employees are dissatisfied.

Individualistic

Oriented around the belief that individual interests and rights are paramount; in a workplace context, this can refer to systems or cultures prioritizing individual achievement over collective goals.

Unionized

Referring to workplaces or employees that are represented by a labor union, which negotiates wages, benefits, and working conditions on their behalf.
