Linus was anti union? I thought he was pro union... At least I remember seeing a tweet to that effect.

It was in wan show, i think, he stated that he would be offended if there was a union because he is such a great boss and ltt is such a great company, something to that effect. *edit: here it is, go to 26:30 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=0IhmkF50VgE

Unions for thee but not for me(my company)

gotta play devil's advocate and say that I at least see where he's coming from. he wants his company to be a group of friends working together on stuff they are excited about. having said that, it's not possible at that scale and with so apparent hierarchy. whatever he says, it is a boss-employee relationship moreso than friend-friend relationship (though I'm not saying it's not both to some degree) and they could really use some unionizing

he is neither he said that he would personally feel like a failed business owner if his employees felt the need to unionize
