Pro-union but would be offended if his employees made a union?
That's the kinda double speak I'm talking about.

It’s really not. People tend to only form unions when they feel that they’re being unjustly treated and this is one of their last resorts.
If you're pro-something, surly you'd want people to do it?
I’m pro-choice - does this mean that I think every fetus should be aborted?

This is an extremely American -- and misinformed -- view of unions. Where I'm from unions are the default, not formed as a last resort to unjust treatment but a natural counterbalance to corporate/institutional power.
Someone saying they'd rather not have their workers form a union is not pro-union. That's like saying you support workers sharing information but you would be offended if your workers talked about their salaries because that would infer that they don't trust you to be fair.
Is it misinformed if it’s just generally how they work in the US?
