What's sad is that unionizing will accelerate whatever the decline of the company is causing the dissatisfaction. Wiser for employees to just jump ship or found a new game studio when this kind of decline happens.

The chances of a company turning around are super low, adding a union makes it harder. Just run.

The alternative to every company is to proactively repair the conditions incentivizing the formation of a union. It continues to amaze me that those in charge of making those decisions choose decline over alternatives.

That is not a fact.

Unionising can be good for everybody

What ruins organisations is greed, or hidden agendas

Baseless claims can be dismissed without evidence. Happy employees are more efficient.

happy employees doesn't imply the need for a union

The thing holding back unions in the U.S is the unions themselves and the laws around them. Once a union forms, they have entirely too much power.

This is a nice summary of the central issue with unions in the U.S. A rational person can quickly see why people are clamoring for unions in the U.S. and also why American companies are so resistant.

What power do they have too much of?
