A striking union would be fined, they can figure out the allocation amongst themselves.

As in workers can't legally demand higher wages as a group, as in those negotiations won't be legally binding and fines would be imposed on strikers, no need to hit anyone.

"literally"?

We have that it's called "supply and demand".

When corporations band together to extract higher profits we penalize them, same logic should apply to labor unions.

I'm opposed to throwing the proverbial baby with the bathwater.

Wow. I myself hail for your fabled "west", and I'm not suggesting that free association should be scrapped nor that violence be committed against its practitioners.

Why? Corporations are largely great assets to a country, labor unions on the other hand are parasitic cartels.

Am I committing thought crimes?

Are you suggesting that employee cartels squeezing money from consumers is justified?

Want worker protections ask for that, no need to burden businesses any further.

The only reason labor unions are legal is that certain unions have outsized political clout, in a perfect world labor unions would be illegal under antitrust laws as forcing companies to pay workers more than what a free market dictates inevitably increases prices.

They follow the law, if they are targeted by special taxes then it's a violation worthy of retaliation.

Foreign nations are increasingly using US tech firms as piggy banks, they fine and levy arbitrary taxes from them, or just use the threat of such to demand some change in behavior, it's quite the racket.

GDPR is trade restriction as the notion of "digital privacy" is perpetrated by those who want to restrain US tech companies.

I'd like to hear if anyone has a better solution than ContentID considering the scale, laws, and stakeholders involved.

Everybody likes shitting on it but it's the best solution to the problem.
