> > Unions will slow us down, and we'll become more bureaucratic Anyone who's actually had to deal with a union can agree with this point.

What about the Writers Guild and the NBA players union? Would the people in those unions say that?

Semi-genuinely asking? ;)

NBA players Union is a great example of how top performers get penalized. The Max contracts that the union agrees to is why top players are underpaid versus what they could command absent that, with most of the bench being overpaid.

Is there any evidence the highest-paid players in the NBA themselves want to get rid of their union? I.e, do you claim this is empirically verifiable?

Or, is this a hypothetical, rational-actor thought experiment you're conducting?
