\n

\nOne of the more surprising statements in the memo is the claim that tech\n employees like those at Kickstarter have it too good to merit \norganizing. \u201cUnions are historically intended to protect vulnerable \nmembers of society, and we feel the demographics of this union undermine\n this important function,\u201d the memo states. \u201cWe\u2019re concerned with the \nmisappropriation of unions for use by privileged workers.\u201d\u00a0

\n

Management: \u201ccheck your privilege, workers! Please don\u2019t culturally appropriate techniques from less privileged workers, for instance, people who make as little as you would if we could get away with it.\u201d
