Sadly, with recent events, all I can think about with this is how Linus Sebastion would go on the WAN Show and say things like, "You don't need a union unless you have bad management, and I never want my employees to need a union."

Yeah that's a gross misunderstanding of what the purpose of a union is.
You do want a union even if you have good management.
A nice management might be able to give you a large salary, flexible worktime, etc.etc. all by themselves, but they're still going to own you like a lap dog.
A union can give you the right to negotiate these things, so that you are free from being dependent on the handouts from the very nice management.
It's not about taking control of the company or whatever they're afraid of. It's about taking control of your own employment and regaining your freedom and rights to have a say in it.
I mean, the phrase is not that bad. If a manager listens to the issues and has the power to solve them and does solve them, I guess someone can argue there is a lower need for one.
But of course, what if management changes to the worse? Then you are not prepared.
And if someone pokes holes in it, you need to get rid of that person.
oh, damn!
That guy has a brilliant username
So unions are ribbed for her pleasure. Nice 👍
