      I'm 100% for unionization, and thought the social media hate-tsunami you received for expressing apprehension was absurd and counter-productive. Glad to see you kept an open mind

      German implied that his coworkers were lazy. It's good that he's come around, but it's not as if his position was screaming "desirous of good faith engagement".

      The prudent course of action was still to rationally persuade him rather than do a cantankerous Twitter pile-on. The former seems to have worked

      I agree as a general principle, but when the first salvo somebody fires, unprompted, is a facile, pejorative criticism taken straight from the anti-union playbook, it's difficult to imagine them being persuaded.

      Maybe he just hadn't thought that deeply about it. Obviously we now know he was open to persuasion. The union organizers themselves have said that vicious online mobbing is unhelpful

          That's undoubtedly true, but on-line mobs gonna on-line mob. Be nice if we could take that out of the equation, but that's unlikely, so the reaction to his "lazy coworker" tweet was anticipatable, if not inevitable.

          I’d leave people that are a “1” alone & the door open. But I don’t think the fire with fire for open hostility (strike one) by a left leaning journo was beyond the pale.

          I guess I disagree with “absurd” ;-) wasn’t helpful or nice but feels like it’s decontextualizing individuals with large lefty platforms (who are still individuals) vs a bunch of normies. or were they not normies? Just saying the power might be nearly equivalent.

          It’s also unhelpful because they’re just randos. Why should German care what faceless Twitter profiles say to him? Psychologically, bad-faith dogpiles make humans more likely to dig their heels in, not reconsider.
