It seems like this would be solved by you not going to work for Kickstarter.

Maybe people other than you have problems you cannot see or understand.

1) I agree, me and everyone else. This problem will be solved not through a union, but nobody except the bottom of the barrel wanting to work for Kickstarter. Then they will either bump their pay to get good workers back, or fail. Simple economics.

2) I also agree, but that doesn't mean these workers should unionize.

These are bold assertions with no evidence. We do understand that you don't think these people are entitled to a union, nor are they entitled to live where they want and have the respect they think they deserve. Yet you have not said why. It would seem that Kickstarter employees, the ones with the most information here, do disagree with you though.

If they live in New York, and they have to unionize rather than just find a better job, something tells me they deserve below average industry pay.

Of course the employees would disagree, that doesn't mean anything about what they deserve to be paid.

There is no point in having a conversation if you are going to continue to assert points without any evidence or arguments to back them up. We understand that you look down on this unionization and don't believe that these workers should have the rights that they think they should. You made your point.

Good day.
