[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8431075, member: 6778210"] Dude, I'm in an educational union. I've lived the difference between unionized and ununionized work. Your example of "My one job was killed by a union, while this other one grew without a union!" is anecdotal at best. Trying to apply that message to the Paizo Union completely ignores why they are organizing and what they are asking for. So please, step off your high horse and actually look at the situation that is being talked about. Yeah, sure bud. I'm not just talking about their announcements, but also their actions: they were adding positions just this February. There's been no indication or sign of any sort of financial problems from anyone coming out of Paizo or any sort of side information. Probably. I mean, as someone thread in the other thread, they probably don't want to tie themselves down to any statement because they are in an extremely bad position when it comes to this. The freelancer "strike" has been ongoing, their scandals forced them to promise changes, and now they are stuck with their workers unionizing publicly to rather popular support. I don't see a particularly easy way out here. Brian Bauman, one of the unionizers, [URL='https://twitter.com/BrianMBauman/status/1450129742909169664']goes over their own strategy here[/URL] and it's obvious that they've thought about how they might try to break the ranks. Nah, it's cool. If you want to discuss different design issues on this forum, that's pretty alright. As long as you don't butt into every thread to proclaim how flawed things are and how you know the system better than the Devs who wrote the GMG, you'll probably be okay. ;) [/QUOTE]
