Notes -
Simple economics.
Labor unions compete with compete with non-union labor.
You can compare the economic effects of most unions to something like a plague that kills only teenagers or inexperienced workers.
Any employer in that situation would try to keep their current employees, possibly pay them more, or provide other non-monetary side benefits to keep them.
But there is an obvious loser in both situations: the teenagers and inexperienced workers.
An anonymous online forum would actually allow the teenagers and inexperienced workers to anti-coordinate with the striking workers. What's a great time to walk in and get a job ... The same day half the workers are no shows.
