It automatically creates an adversarial relationship. Terrible way to live life on either side of that construct.

No one should be forced to work anywhere. Which also means working isn’t a right. Work somewhere that works with you and establish a healthy relationship. Set expectations and be clear on what is desired.

One spends much of their time working, to do it in such a way where a cordial relationship is not there; it might as well be no different than hell.

Find somewhere else to work if a company doesn’t work with your ethos. Unionizing to coerce and compel is so disgusting. It’s plainly a form of bullying. That’s no way to live life.



In many companies, you don't need a union to make it adversarial: it's already an adversarial relationship. It's a war with only one side shooting. The union just attempts to arm the other side. It would be great if leadership and employees were actually on the same side (rather than just in words), with things like employee representation on the board, and fair bargaining for wages with equal power on either side, but that's just not a reality at most jobs.


That’s a terrible default. That will make a country collapse. I guess you don’t have to look around too hard then to see that coming into fruition.


That’s easy to say, but which other auto plant in the Bay Area should workers go to work at? There aren’t any others.


No one said a profession was guaranteed labor. Who made that a right?
