It's unfortunate that you had a bad experience, but I don't know how you can expect anyone to respect your view when you've made it blindingly obvious that it's based on a single experience you've had. The "unions don't have a place anymore" argument is nothing more than privileged neoliberal propaganda. Shitty apathetic views like yours are how workplace standards slip.
- KyeRussell 9y agoSorry, I should frame my response by noting that I live in Australia - a country with way more employee-friendly hiring laws than the US. 4 weeks of paid leave with rollover, sick and carers leave, much better rights wrt getting laid off.etc. Even with these advantages over the US, I still see a need for unions.
- dang 9y agoPlease don't break the HN guideline against name-calling in arguments. "Privileged neoliberal propaganda" is on the line but "shitty apathetic views like yours" is well over it, especially because it's a personal attack too. You don't have to change your views to comment on HN, but please edit out the bits that don't make for thoughtful conversation. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
