"When the structure is the workplace, the official leader of that structure, the company’s chief executive, declares war on the employees at the first hint of a unionization effort"

no.

the class war always exists. management declares war on labour the moment that they're hired, and organization is required to protect them from these perpetual attacks by management.

the management class exists and survives solely by stealing labour from it's employees, in the terms of underpaying them. that is the definition of capitalism. it will always seek, by any means that are allowed to it, to increase the quantity of this theft, and to further enforce as much inequality as is possible. it is not reacting to employees, it is constantly acting aggressively against them, and there is nothing that employees can do to stop this aggression besides organizing into unions so that they can defend themselves.

a minor point in context? no. it lets out a capitalist bias, and a naivete about power.

you can imagine the meme, right?

writes book about how activists don't understand power.

 

doesn't understand power.
