Now I understand why my original comment is the most down voted comment I ever made on HN in about 5 years.
Based on what you wrote it sounds like union vs non-union seems very much related to a political topic of socialism vs capitalism which is usually a good idea to avoid talking about on public forums.
With that said, I'm bowing out on this conversation!
- jacquesm 7y agoUnions are present in just about every capitalist society, in fact I'd wager they are far more effective there than they would be on the opposite side of that particular fence, simply because most capitalist societies have somewhat functional legal systems as well as democratic institutions. In other countries union bosses are found dead with alarming regularity.
- pteredactyl 7y agoI appreciate your sensible take on this. From what I've heard from a KS employee, it's been anything but sensible, from both sides. To add to that. Said employee described the lack of product leadership (constant changing vision, wasted efforts, etc.). At this point I would not bet or invest in KS.
