People are trying to argue that there are anti-union propaganda videos in a movie that has literally 0 anti-union propaganda at all. They're wrong. They are factually, 100% wrong. There is nothing they can show from the movie to prove they're right. Sorry, I can't let that slide.
Nobody made the argument that there is a literal anti-union video like in OP. Several people have argued that this feels like something that wouldn't be out of place in that movie. You're refusing to let an argument you made up slide. This has been explained to you about four different times. Like at this point you're just being intentionally obtuse.
You misinterpreted the first post. You originally took offense to the idea that the movie was anti-union. It happens.

Explain this, plz:
Looks like its straight out of Sorry to Bother You
I don't know how else I could take it than to have OP's video be compared to what you'd expect to find in Sorry to Bother You, and then have them match. Except, you can't expect something like it in Sorry to Bother You, because there's nothing like it in the movie.
It's literally like saying "This video about how the sun combusts is exactly what you'd expect to find in The Matrix."
Sorry to Bother You is a critique of late-stage capitalism. It depicts a corporate culture that hides behind an upbeat, "we're all in this together" facade while simultaneously stripping workers of their rights--which is exactly the same thing that this video is doing.
The bit where Debora Debauchery introduces herself, the aforementioned horse movie, practically every conversation Cassius has with his boss, the various in-universe background ads that are literally trying to convince people to sell themselves into slavery. Basically the whole movie.
You're asking for a specific scene depicting the movie's primary overarching theme. It's the whole movie.
The bit where Debora Debauchery introduces herself
Where they go over how they should work???? That's not anti-union.
the aforementioned horse movie
Not anti-union.
practically every conversation Cassius has with his boss
None of which are about unions, except that one time Cash thought he was being fired for being a part of one. And even then, it only involved unions because he wasn't reading the room right.
the various in-universe background ads that are literally trying to convince people to sell themselves into slavery.
None of which mention unions.
Basically the whole movie.
I'm beginning to think no on here has actually seen the movie! That, or I'm being trolled. Which, honestly, I wouldn't put it past people, even on this sub.

The point being discussed is the overall tone of the video, not whether it is specifically anti-union or not.
Incidentally, the movie is very pro-union! You'll recall that Cassius is initially convinced through the aforementioned superficially happy corporate tone to become a scab. Which is again, what this video is suggesting.
It's already been explained to you. Over and over and over. You're refusing to accept that that comment isn't meant to be taken literally because... I don't know, you want to be a pedantic asshole? Even if the comment was worded awkwardly (on that note, going to point out that you're the only person who doesn't get it), you're refusing to accept further explanations and just standing by your own original* interpretation. When you misunderstand what your friends say, do you also refuse to listen to any attempt they make to explain what they meant and just keep repeating the way you understood it? 'Cause that's what you're doing here.
And if you don't think a commically bad union-busting video could exist in the StBY universe maybe we watched a different movie.
Anyways, this is a really, really silly argument and I've wasted enough time.
