Whenever unions are mentioned on HN there always seems to be a coordinated effort to attack them in the comments, very interesting.
1. There is a conspiracy to bad mouth unions to protect the capitalist class.

It seems perfectly fine and honest from them. Did anyone expect any different? I'm not saying it's bad, just that's the reality of the job.

I'm impressed by how low-quality this anti-union astroturf bot is. If you have sentience, how much did someone pay for you on Fiverr?
HN is not the best platform to from anti-capitalism sentiments. There's a lot of privilege here and it makes people pretty blind to how awful capitalism is (and the things it creates, like anti-union sentiment).
Unions deal in money and don't seek to change that, unions recognize and don't challenge ownership of the business.
What about them makes them anti-capitalist, except that they seek to shift the balance of "who, of all the people working on a business, gets paid what for the operation of a business"?

Couldn't this just be because unions can have a deteriorating effect on meritocracy? Say you have 10 workers - 2 are rock stars and make $50/hr, 6 are average and make $20/hr, and 2 are bad and make $10/hr (min wage - because they are never promoted). Average "non-union" pay is: $24/hr Now say you unionize and the union forces you to start paying the bad employees $20/hr like all the other average ones. So now you pa…
This is a pointless thought experiment that has practically no basis in reality.

I'm pretty sure it isn't illegal to seek out an employee with strike-busting knowledge.
