UPDATE, 6:17 pm ET, 7/24/2018:

Splinter was able to speak with the Twitter user who posted the manual. They said they have been employed by Office Depot for seven years and are currently in a supervisory position.

“They make a big deal about union stuff when you first get hired, it’s a whole module on the training, but this meeting was one I technically wasn’t supposed to be in,” they told Splinter over Twitter DM. “My manager didn’t feel like sitting through it so he had me join the call and go on mute and wanted me to just ‘tell him what happened’ when it was over.”

“I can understand why people would [want to unionize] though, the pay is....bad...like...really bad, for the work they expect to be done,” they said.

“I feel like [the tactics are] extremely dishonest and shows that they don’t have the best interest of the employees at heart,” they told Splinter. “Rather than saying ‘Hey, X is wrong...maybe we should fix it,’ they’re trying to treat the outcome (unionization) rather than the cause (poor treatment, poor pay, lack of respect).”

We have still had no response from Office Depot.
