"The problem is that, once an industry unionizes, you don't really have a choice." That's entirely false, and intellectually dishonest.

"The problem is that, once an industry unionizes, you don't really have a choice."
That's entirely false, and intellectually dishonest.
- chimeracoder 9y ago> That's entirely false Technically, by the letter of the law? Okay. But in practice? No, it's completely true. Your only "choice" is to find a non-unionized job (if one even exists in your field). Decertifying a union is borderline impossible in practice. And if you're in the minority opinion among your coworkers, you're completely out-of-luck, because there's nothing you can do, legally or practically. > and intellectually dishonest. You keep saying this phrase a lot, but there's nothing "intellectually dishonest" about explaining the practical problems associated with OP's statement ("I will never be a part of any organisation..."). You can't just use that phrase to dismiss fact-based critiques that you don't like. If you disagree, actually engage with the argument.
