It’s because the capitalist class has successfully persuaded the proletariat that they shouldn’t join a union. The US has been very successful at concentrating created wealth into a small number of people.
- satvikpendem 6mo ago> beyond the typical reasons of American anti union sentiment like corporatism, bootstrap mentality etc, despite which there are many unions in the US like UAW, police and teachers unions etc. As I said for tech workers it's a different set of reasons.
- ryandrake 6mo agoI think tech largely falls for the same anti-union propaganda as a great number of the rest of the USA. You'll see HN commenters in this article repeating much of this propaganda.
- satvikpendem 6mo agoI'm not sure, this is a good way to dismiss anything one doesn't like as "propaganda," it doesn't really tell us much.
