I don’t understand - what is “this”?

  This.

  I’m guessing “this” is the ability to collectively bargain if conditions aren’t good or, in this case, if you don’t have the ability to collectively bargain.

    That’s what I thought but then I don’t get it in the context of the parent. Their teammates are spoiled because they’re not bargaining, to what end? Needs more context I think. I would expect this to be some justification or benefit present in the article.

      The context is that their teammates' working conditions are so good (as a result of union participation in collective bargaining) that they've become spoiled & forgotten how it got that way to begin with.

        Mostly because they are too young and don't know better. There was a lot of blood, sweat and tears spilled before we got to this stage.

      Unions are like sysadmins - if they are doing their job well, it looks like they're not necessary at all :) They are like the large looking bouncer at the door of a club, who make patrons (businesses) behave themselves. So GP's coworkers are spoiled because the bouncer has been doing a pretty good job and seems unnecessary.

  Being spoiled.
