> Collective bargaining means that employers can no longer reduce negotiations by serially negotiating with one employee at the time, but have the negotiate with all employees at once.

Now I understand why my original comment is the most down voted comment I ever made on HN in about 5 years.

Based on what you wrote it sounds like union vs non-union seems very much related to a political topic of socialism vs capitalism which is usually a good idea to avoid talking about on public forums.

With that said, I'm bowing out on this conversation!
