Specifically for HN: this is a forum made up of predominantly young, hyper-mobile, extremely well compensated, white collar workers with an often unstated belief in meritocracy as the key determiner of success. Many of them do not understand the need of a union because they don't work in a milieu to which unions were previously prominent, nor do they understand their purpose. They see anything that could affect the above conditions as unnecessary or "bad". There has also been decades of corporate promoted anti-union propaganda. A simple google search shows that companies like Amazon will go to extremely intrusive lengths to control the narrative around unions by employing tactics like mass texting and communication campaigns, mandatory anti-union information meetings, etc. Do that enough and you get people who begin to earnestly support an anti-union sentiment, even if the union would help them.
