> I agree that employees could collectively extract more of the value they help create, I don't think every article ok the topic is the right place for that discussion

You don't agree with anything reasonable at all. The way you just said that blames workers, as if it's workers' fault.

Frankly, until people like you stop refusing to listen, every article on the topic is the right place for this discussion, because it's arguably the largest problem facing most people today and people who don't think it's important are a big part of the problem. Whatever ivory tower economics you want to talk about instead just isn't as important.



I was referring to unions as a level of agency employees could unilaterally employ

If you call blame or refusing to listen, I’m not sure which talking point you are referring to. I’m not familiar with any concept or movement beyond that.

Employers are not going to operate outside of market conditions, am I understanding that you wanted me to acknowledge their capability of paying more? Ok. There. I have now. The union can be a market condition.


You have defined anything you disagree with as unreasonable. Don’t be surprised if everyone seems unreasonable.
