> If it’s bad for an autoworker to buy an “import”, surely a Microsoft employee should be shopping at Walmart or some other Microsoft partner, not Amazon.
that really is a stretch don't you think?
Perhaps they are buying imports because they know the quality of the product they are building? Perhaps they know the "imports" are better and will last longer?
Does Azure offer socks? what if the Azure VP wanted socks for their kids
You seem to think an Azure VP shopping at Amazon (which only compete on the cloud computing space) is the same as a Unionized autoworker buying a car from a non-union shop????
> Why do you care about how the UAW guy defrauded his organization?
you are the one who said corruption only happens on the "business side of the table".. now you are shown this is incorrect your new position is "why do i care"?
I never said that. You’re stuck on whatever you think that you’re missing the forest for the trees.
If companies are virtual people can band together and seek collective action, so should actual people. Governance of unions, professional associations, etc are another, irrelevant matter.
If you allow companies to consolidate and exert unlimited political power, workers need to be able to self-organize to ensure their interests are represented. Full stop.
All of the things you complain about happen on the business side of the table. P

Clearly you wrote about "business side of the table" when corruption exits on both sides of the table. Often the Unions corruption is rather bad as well (teamsters and organized crime anyone?)
you confuse me, now we are talking about "forest for the trees?"
Statements like this always seem like things people throw out there when they are unable to build a compelling case?
