How times have changed when both a union is backing a major corporation and EU may support an American company more than America, Lol. As I said before, FTC have basically spat in the face of unions after saying they would strongly consider them, a win against big tech is more important than workers rights for the FTC.

Perhaps this shouldn't be so surprising, considering that America has pretty much always hated unions. Sure, there's some posturing in their favor here and there, but at the end of the day, America is perfectly happy to tell unions to get fucked.

True that.

FTC is changing their mind on a whim, first they care about unions and when it didn't go in their favour because Microsoft went pro-union, they suddenly ignore the largest union in America and say stuff like "it doesn't matter what Microsoft tells you, companies break their promises" when CMA has the damn thing written in a contract, treating them like they're idiots and this is their first time, Lol.

I don't think FTC can ever claim to genuinely give a shit about unions again, on a pure numbers basis, ABK is larger than both XGS and Zenimax combined and FTC has just screwed hundreds if not thousands of tech employees out of the option of unionisation and better work environments, on the basis of very weak arguments.

It's one thing if this was always their agenda, if they said "we're FTC, we don't look into worker environments" that would be perfectly fine with me, I take issue more with the fact that they pretended to care and changed their actual responsibilities to considering unions/workplace environments when it suited them then ignored it when it suited them.
