Dismissing any form of dissent as purely the result of propaganda is not a good way to bring people to your side.
> In what world should a UNION of the workers care about the COMPANY? Maybe if the workers in the union partly owned the company.
For one, a meaningful amount of tech worker compensation comes in the form of company stock. For another, I would argue that anyone who wants to stay in their job long term should care about the company and it's long term health.
- miltonlost 2y agoI'm not dismissing ANY form of dissent. I'm dismissing the "unions mostly cater to the mediocre employees" as propaganda which ignores the universal benefits a union gives to all employees, mediocre and superstar alike. Benefits that would either not be guaranteed without a negotiated contract or would be hard to have conceded on an individual basis.
