Earlier quoted context omitted.
For whatever reason collective bargaining is wildly unpopular on HN, which is ironic because tech workers are exactly who should be organizing their labor.
I don't think it's wildly unpopular, I think that starting a union is wildly hard and paints a target on your back, but once someone does the hard work I think we'll see that there was sufficient support to make a play. I also think if you do a text embedding on the recent years of HN post and you look for conversations on unions, you'll find a plurality of support.
