Because at the time you want to form a union due to things being bad, your employer already has the workers in a position of fear and control, and they have reasonably free reign to do whatever they want and toe the line of illegality when

This article oversimplifies the pitfalls of various architectures to the degree that many of its conclusions are simply incorrect.

It's an interesting exercise, but this library doesn't fit well into the Go ecosystem's habit of writing straightforward, imperative, boring, verbose, simple-to-read code. Even as someone who likes FP tools, I won't be u
