Thanks for this. Every time unions are mentioned people want to turn it into a black/white issue and won't allow for shades of grey.

Unions can be great for workers. They can also fuck up markets and/or workers. What's wrong with taking the good and improving the bad for unions in the 21st century?

That's literally what 99% of the start-ups in Silicon Valley are doing in various verticals.

The black/white thinking when it comes to discussion of unions always feels like people have more of an agenda to push that being interested in any meaningful discussion.

SV turning everyone into minimum-wage (or less) earning independent contractors, gutting benefits and worker protections, is fucking up workers.
