That is an age old debate in unions, how to agree on what to fight for. It means that things have to get bad for many before unions organize on big new issues.

Feminist issues is a good example it has almost always been up to the women to fight for that, unions have been in the back seat on most of these issues until support was well above 50% in their ranks.

That's not what the poster I replied to was arguing - they were arguing for developers to all agree not to develop harmful (to the consumer) products.

That is not what unions do. Unions are not known for acting in the customers best interest. They are a workers collective, not a consumer advocacy group.
