Each of the listed actions can contribute to a disconnect between management and employees, potentially pushing employees closer to unionization as they seek representation and advocacy for their concerns. Misinterpreting silence as contentment, assuming supervisors align with management without considering their potential empathy towards employee issues, and oversimplifying worker dissatisfaction to just economic concerns can all exacerbate employee grievances and drive them towards union support.
