What makes unions bad? They only represent the workers of today vs. the workers of tomorrow || musing on the organization of Harvard non-tenure track faculty.
@lessin You're just going to ignore all the outreach, training, education, and advocacy programs that unions engage in specifically to make their job better for future generations of workers?
@lessin hey sam! Would you like to invest in my startup? we're calling it "Guillotines-as-a-service" and our GTM strategy will be aggressive outbound for our target audience
@lessin maybe you should do a quick google of how many academics unionize with the UAW before suggesting it's a "curious case"
@lessin Thanks for sticking your neck out and being so brave in the fight to hoard more worker money for yourself.
@lessin This is fantastically wrong for so many reasons that it would overflow the X character limit going into detail about it. Suffice to say, unions are good and your thought piece is mind-numbingly bad.
@lessin So the workers don't know what's best for workers ... I guess the best people to make decisions on their behalf are enlightened management? Investors maybe?
@lessin no no, sam, you're getting confused: you're acting like a union is a profit seeking entity, something merely trying to maximize a variable. that's what business does. no need to thank me for pointing this out, its a pretty common error a lot of incurious capitalists make
