  Please don't cross into personal attack, no matter how strongly you disagree with someone, and please don't extend ideological flamewars (or other flamewars) on HN. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Found the one cheering for greedy megacorps. Hope they might see your comments I presume and send you a check?

    Or he's quite capable of negotiating his own salary. I personally agree; I don't want a unionized job. It doesn't work for me. It's a net benefit on average, but I'm an aggressive negotiator, and I out-earn my industry, and I know how to squeeze big bonuses out of my employers. So a union would have a negative effect on my ability to earn.

      Sounds like you should be a union representative fighting for you and your coworkers to all get big bonuses

    Fair. I apologize. My point remains though. If he wants to lock work down to unions, the exact-opposite mirror comment... is to say 'as your peer and equal, I'm not going to work with unionists'. Individual freedom is severly curtailed by unions. Bad management is a cost worth paying to have individual freedom, sorry.
