I must have missed the part in the post where he talks about collective bargaining. All I saw was how much privilege he had and how it will protect him from being fired (it didn't).
A more generous reading is that he was saying he didn’t plan on quitting and didn’t plan on changing his behavior to fit into any culture changes that he might disagree with. The mentioned privilege is that he could afford to be fired if that was the result, not that he was protected from being fired.
I think you missed the part where you should slow down and comprehend before firing all culture warrior torpedos, he’s talking about not living paycheck to paycheck & having a great CV where he can get another job.
The privilege he mentions is being so rich that he works only for entertainment/access to power, not for money. That does protect him from the potentially nasty side-effects of being fired.
