Imagine being pro union but also somehow libertarian. Fuckin wild. Do they not realize that in a libertarian system anyone trying to form a union would be fired immediately?
I’m not sure I understand your point exactly. What exactly does the libertarian philosophy say about unions? A union is essentially just people who choose to associate with eachother and act as a single entity under an employer; in a free market, their bargaining power would be proportional to their size — its growth would impact the pool of potential employees that could be hired outside of the union. There could be, for example, laws in place which prevent a company from firing a union, which a libertarian would generally oppose, but a libertarian needn’t necessarily oppose the concept of unions, imo.

Maybe they want small government…so they can fight the government with their union?
It’s a bit like saying that you want to fight Mike Tyson, but only if you remove his arms and vision.
That’s easy to do, it only takes 20 million dollars
Not if the Taft-Hartley Act is abolished. They usually don’t know about that regulation so I start there.
They’d be fired, evicted from their home, have their bank account closed, and get banned from entering most retail stores.
