@paulg How do you think labor interests should be represented in the (near) future?

@MattKrisiloff@paulg Time for renaissance of real old American economics, advanced 21st century cooperatives not labor pleading with bosses -
@jeremywrk@paulg It feels like there has to be something in-between. -
@MattKrisiloff@paulg Yes, tech heavy nextgen, worker-owned, founder-run cooperatives relying on visionary leadership & workplace democracy

@paulg@curiouscat_com Not mentioned: whether Rotterdam is unionised. Turns out, it is. Strongly so. So I don't buy the argument. -
@MartinBurnsSCO Can't a CEO fail a company? But what if another CEO doesn't is that proof that the CEO couldn't have failed the Company? -
@MartinBurnsSCO Unions don't have to have bad policies that are worthy of criticism but they can, and the USA port unions do, IMO. -
@curiouscat_com Yes, perhaps so. Is this the reason for the difference in productivity claimed? Not on the evidence presented. -
@MartinBurnsSCO I agree. The % of articles I read with sufficient evidence for their claim is tiny. Even the good ones just give a small bit -
@MartinBurnsSCO To me the good ones provide something of interest that is worth reading. -
@curiouscat_com the 1st 75% of the article was interesting: I now know more about how container ports work. - 1 more reply
