    This is honestly hilarious and I applaud the excellent use of Claude Code for the malicious compliance with their demands.

      > malicious compliance

      This isn't malicious compliance. It's over-the-top compliance. He has no requirement to comply with their random demands. He does anyway.

      I wonder how this will be received. Since AI has come up, I think pro-union sentiment has been at a an all time high. How do you feel, HN?

        Amazing. Next is automating this, automatically or manually gathering all domains they have registered, and spinning up Claude to register a similar domain and creating the counter website.

            This is delightful. I know he's not paid to do this but I would gladly donate to this.

                Of course they are. It's a good reminder that non-profits are very often just an arm of capital, whatever their legal status is, and that they will exercise capital's authority to try to suppress workers' rights.

                  US management culture is the same everywhere.

                      Unions destroy innovation and change in businesses. Look at how teachers unions fight against performance based pay and make it impossible to fire bad teachers. I love that cancer centers are resisting communism.

                        Innovation and change are not worth as much as providing a living wage to those who work for you. If you value nebulous innovation over the quality of life of real people, I don't know what to tell you.

                          Yes, I value curing cancer as being more important than letting slackers collect paychecks and not get fired. Sorry.

                            You're talking to a troll.

                        Oooooh this is great.

                            He's being harassed by a law firm, not the mob. If someone shows up to do him harm they will be from the government because the law firm will have contrived government process to that end.

                            Shooting at them while they're on the clock is generally not wise.

                              It's not that far fetched to assume that someone could be in physical danger after ruffling the feathers of a company that has hired a union busting firm. Union Busters have a long history of employing gun violence against striking workers.

                              • josefritzishere · 2 days ago

                                I would agree. The history of union busting is full of examples a violence by the union busters via private contracts and government agencies. There are probably more violent, than non-violent examples.

                                  The Pinkerton Agency is basically a murder-for-hire company, historically. They generally only cater to corporate customers, so politicians kept their eyes turned elsewhere.

                              This is the spirit we need more of, good to see nerds causing a ruckus.

                                > When I asked them whether they believe those are IP infringements, I was told that they don’t answer hypothetical questions.

                                Huh, I've never seen this strategy before.

                                  Notably, those questions aren't actually hypothetical.

                                    It’s a close relative of the “I haven’t heard of that defense” by politicians who have definitely heard about said event in question.
