    > In those cases it would be strange to characterize the dissenters as not being "forced" into anything, even if it was a collective decision. Okay, I see, but then you could also …

    > The point is that it's not Tesla's employees that are behind it. How do you know this though? Union membership is anonymous. You have no reason to tell your employer you're a mem…

    So the first thing I think of here is Toys'R'Us when they tried to break their strikes. Banks stopped processing payments. So if they did try this, they would be unable to pay for …

    A lot of it comes down to the mental models of Unions - they're very different depending on the country you work in. A lot of people just can't believe a system with powerful Union…
