It’s a rough world out there for people trying to unionize…

True but also my point is kinda that you might as well try because without workers having meaningful leverage in their workplace, management will undoubtedly drive large corporations that impact the entire industry into brickwalls for the dumbest, most shortsighted reasons.

Yeah, I don’t want to discourage anyone from trying, but tech jobs are a long ways away from having unions be the norm.

I’d love to have one in my job, since the only kind of job security you get in software is becoming a specialist in some niche area where you’re the only one who knows how anything works, which isn’t exactly a low-stress position either.
