Amazing. I thought the point of unions was to organize workers against elites. TIL that the point of unions to organize elites (if you work for Google Deepmind in the UK you are the global elite) to hold organizations hostage unless they enforce elite beliefs irrelevant to the 99%. It must feel exciting to get to cosplay rebellion and revolution from a fancy desk in London.
