Comment on When will tech workers start creating Unions?

Comments

Hopefully never; if tech/CS was heavily unionized work I never would have joined the field.

There are a ton of unionized industries, if you like unions so much you should join them. If all the heavily unionized industries look terrible consider if there's a reason for that

Amen to this! I have been hamstrung by the union and we are unable to improve our environment because some jobs only exist due to how inefficient the processes and procedures are.

We literally have people that use their phones to take pictures on monitors, email themselves the photos, then print them out. Why? Because the new tools and systems require training and that's not in their contract. It's crazy-making.

Probably never. See parent.

If all the completely un-unionized industries look terrible consider if there are reasons for that, too. Again, see parent.

The US has seen a great deal of anti-communist and anti-socialist and anti-union propaganda over the last century. The cries of antisemitism recently would indicate that Jews are next. We're following the Niemöller script!

Did you link a poem to make your point?

Now seems like as good a time as any to remind everyone the national socialists were, in fact, ardent socialists, and their oppressive nature came from the belief socialism could only work in racially pure societies.
