This article is more about politics than something interesting to hackers. It's a difficult line, but in this case the way the article appeals to emotion instead of basing on fact and example is why, IMO, it's flagged. IMO, if this topic is important to you, I'd find a source that doesn't have a political agenda, and doesn't appeal to emotion. Unions, (love or hate them,) are political organizations, and often work by appealing to emotions. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Edit: Remember that most people on Hacker News are either entrepreneurs, who do not want their employees to unionize, or professionals, who can negotiate independently and don't need a union to protect their income and work environment.
