Except that it's not a single anecdote, and this issue is widespread.

Ignoring the realities and complexities of established organized labour is not going to help the cause.

It is, very literally, a single anecdote that they guy is responding to.

As I clearly stated: problems with unions are widespread and there are even quite a handful of examples right on this thread.

"Racism doesn't exist just because one person used n-word! It's just one anecdote!"

... is not an argument.

Anyone with any exposure unions knows they are far from perfect, many of them are quite terrible.

This kind of ideological, wilful ignorance kills any goodwill people might otherwise have among the adult population who will invariably have come up against theses issue probably multiple times in their lives through either personal experiences or acquaintances.

The plural of anecdote is not data.
