Do you have evidence that Id is being subject to some sort of no poach deal?

Nobody doubts that employers can curb worker's ability to accept competing offers. The question is whether there's actually any evidence backing up the claim that Id employees aren't free to leave.

Doesn't need it to justify unionizing. Unionizing is a right, and it was previously not exercised because there was no evidence of the will of the market to defraud or conspire against workers. It is now written plain for all to see that indeed, these types of arrangements are kept in board members back pockets. It is not their job to protect a companies interest in renumeration execs and shareholders. It is their job to get their share in spite of the management class's proven track records of the proclivity to engage in shenanigans and lies.

The fact you can't understand solidarity is your problem, not theirs.

I'm not disputing that employees have right to try and form a union.

I'm asking people who are insisting that Id employees are not free to accept competing offers to back up those claims with evidence.

And I'm telling you that what you're asking for doesn't mean a lick. Someone already pissed in the pool. Once you know it's been done, you can't uncrack that egg.

Plan on capabilities. Not "what you feel like they might draw the lines". Odds are, your feelings are in error, and they are capable of much worse. And if they're actually decent people, to everyone, all is good. If all they want is to juice the most out of the most gullible/naive, that's what the union is for.

We cannot have nice things.

Again, is there any evidence that Id Technologies has engaged in the illegal practices that have been mentioned in this thread? People have been confidently asserting this, but but when asked to substantiate this the best they can do is point to example of other companies engaging in such practices.

If you support the unionization effort for other reasons, that's fine, but let's be clear: the allegations that Id is engaging in no-poaching agreements or some other illegal activities remain totally baseless. There is no reason to think that there's something preventing Id employees from accepting competing job offers from other companies, despite the insistence to contrary in this thread.
