I agree with all of this except the statement that Medium busted the union. There really was no need. The union organizers did a very good job of harassing, intimidating, and alienating many of the union-eligible employees. Several people were very turned off by this and as a result the union couldn't secure enough votes.

If this is true, then it should've been a top-level comment or you should write about it publicly.

It is true - however, why would I put myself in such a bad position with a number of my coworkers by writing about it publicly? I still have to work with them. There is a reason this is a throwaway account.

Yeah, I understand. That came off a bit lecturing; I should've said "I wish you would".
