The key engineers who left Ferrari in '61 became the key engineers that lifted Lamborghini into existence. They didn't start a union and stepped away from deaths of Ferrari drivers and verbal abuse to start something new with Lamborghini. Both companies survived and no unions were started.

Disgruntled employees are the birth of something new, not a call to clamp down.

Who is calling for tech & gaming unionization because of the first 3rd party gaming company? It's not the majority of bad sentiment. It's not even news.

Both Ferrari and Lamborghini are unionized. Indeed the financing that helped start Lamborghini in 1963 was contingent on there being a workers union.

I don't understand your point.

Lamborghini wouldn't exist had those five engineers unionized at Ferrari instead of leaving.

I was pointing out that the claim this sort of thing is new is complete and total bullshit.

Nobody claimed it was new. The majority of this is recent.

Not new. Not recent.
