Perhaps, but even so I still wouldn't want to work at a place that requires bodyguards, even if bodyguards are not the cause of the danger.

Without getting into the details of cause and effect, look at it from the perspective of the current employees. Currently it's a nice place to work. Contrasting with previous experiences with unions where they've been terrible experiences to work at. Why would I want this kind of change?



> Currently it’s a nice place to work

If they’re seriously discussing unionizing, perhaps that assumption is to be revisited ?


Yea could be. But this particular thread started with how some employees are opposed to unionizing. Views on this will be personal, some will support and some will oppose. I’m just giving one perspective on why some (like myself although I don’t work at fb) oppose unions.

eg I would oppose unionizing at my current place of employment because I’m generally happy and feel having an union will make things worse based on past experience with unions.
