Listen, that works in engineering but I know people who try this all the time in more replacable occupations and it just gets shut down.

And that's why we should wait till engineers are replaceable before we try to unionize....

In Sweden, they have no labour laws. But they also have no restrictions on unionization. A proper free market! And it works pretty well.

In Sweden there are plenty of labor laws. E.g you have to lay off workers in the opposite order they were hired.
