Kickstarter’s staff is unionizing
I wish them well, but having family members and friends work in unionized workplaces, it&#x27;s not something I would ever do.<p>It always seems to degenerate into an &quot;us vs them&quot; sort of thing whenever I talk to them about where they work.  Why would I ever work some place where things are so adversarial?<p>You also end up with this 3rd party involved in everything, creating all kinds of &quot;rules&quot; to make things &quot;fair&quot;.  Want to go on vacation?  To make things &quot;fair&quot;, the most senior people get to pick their times first, and the new guys get the not-so-good times.  Don&#x27;t care about the union&#x27;s bullshit &quot;industrial action&quot; and just want to work and earn some money?  Get used to being called a &quot;scab&quot;.  You get the point - it becomes more about knuckling under to what the union wants than getting work done or having a career.
