Movement? It's a reddit. My favorite reddit, and the only reason I go to Reddit anymore. That is the problem and that's why the fear level of the elites (about unionization) is elevated enough to start running hatchet jobs on a forum.

First person stories where a worker quit on the spot or otherwise "sticked it to the man" were popular.

I think you're drastically overestimating the fear the elites have about unionization. It's relatively easy to outsource jobs or replace with automation/robots.

  Then why do we keep hearing about how no one can hire anyone?
  - krageon 5y ago
    It's a narrative that is pushed so that they feel like they don't have to change anything. It's not the hirer being abusive or bad, it's the market which has no available talent.
    - DangitBobby 5y ago
      Sure, I'm just saying if they could just ignore unions by outsourcing or using robots, why bother complaining at all?
- yunohn 5y ago
  This is historically provably false? Lots of things are still not automatable - hence humans are needed, and subsequently, mistreated.
  - wiseowise 5y ago
    Hence outsourcing argument.

My first thought when I heard about this story was to wonder if the 'elites' were involved in nudging this convenient disaster to happen in some shady way
