I can't speak for the OP, but I don't think their point was that they're against the self-interested nature of unionizing.

I read it more like they're against trying to stop, hinder, or prevent the use of new technology, simply because it's personally threatening.

And I feel the same way. If I was part of a union, I would believe in the collective bargaining power, but I wouldn't necessarily believe we should use that to pursue every single possible agenda that might benefit us. And I've personally pooled my capital with others in the past in order to achieve certain outcomes. And in those situations I also didn't attempt to reach so far as to limit the totally valid freedoms of others just because I knew it might be better for me.

Acting in the interest of a collective doesn't mean one must also abandon the ethics they usually employ when acting in their solo self interest.
