Because nothing terrifies corporate executives more than a loosely organized group of scattered workers with no legal standing, no collective bargaining rights, and no strike protections. Truly, the next great labor revolution will be built on the unshakable foundation of good vibes and a mailing list. In practice, I don’t think things will be that easy.
- dwaltrip 2y agoYou are offering undiscerning nihilism. It’s both false and unhelpful. Maybe you just needed to vent, I get that. But I must say, HN comments aren’t the always the best place for venting.
- zvorygin 2y agoThey offered a number of good points, it doesn’t seem like undiscerning nihilism to me.
- deadbabe 2y agoUnhelpful I can see, but how is it in any way false what I said?
- dwaltrip 2y agoYou are saying that what they are doing is completely useless. Plenty of other comments have explained how it isn’t.
- int_19h 2y agoThe very first unions were exactly like that, and they terrified corporate executives enough to attempt to violently suppress them. And then, despite said suppression, they still managed to win legal standing, collective bargaining rights, strike protections etc.
