You can’t touch a single police officer without them throwing a hissy fit and shutting everything down.

Company unions don’t work.

And if union busting is encouraged by the government, being part of a regular union might not be worth the sacrifice.

Union busting government deserves to fall.
And company unions do as well.
I’ll have the feeling the voters in this tread have no idea what a company union is. There’s a reason they are banned by international labor law!

I agree with you

Most people won’t understand the difference or read your link

Especially because “company” unions aren’t a thing in the civilised world

I just added the link just seconds ago. Apparently looking up terms people don’t know is too difficult.

It’s more that context is important. The thread is about “Police Unions”, so it’s not surprising that people would read “Company Union” as meaning a union at a commercial enterprise by contrast, rather than the highly specific definition that you’ve used that distinguishes a company union from a trade union.

You can either prance about in the thread about how dumb everyone else is, or you could edit your original statement to clarify what you meant.
