The anti-union turn demonstrates that the post-left trajectory moves from rejection of leftist overreach on social issues, (abolish borders, families, etc.), to embrace of increasingly reactionary economic positions. They really aren't leaving the left, they're joining the right.
To whatever extent I'm part of a 'post-left' movement, here's the argument against unions, though probably not against the bill in question: they're worth fuck-all if you can't stop them turning into guilds at the first sign of a labor surplus.

You either need enough [unionizable, ie productive] work for people to do, or a way to take massive numbers of people out of the labor market without destroying their lives. Unions tend not to care about the people outside the club.

Well, no kidding. They're also not going to cure male pattern baldness or feed the starving Kenyans. What of it?
