One of the more surprising statements in the memo is the claim that tech
employees like those at Kickstarter have it too good to merit
organizing. “Unions are historically intended to protect vulnerable
members of society, and we feel the demographics of this union undermine
this important function,” the memo states. “We’re concerned with the
misappropriation of unions for use by privileged workers.”
Management: “check your privilege, workers! Please don’t culturally appropriate techniques from less privileged workers, for instance, people who make as little as you would if we could get away with it.”
