Impossible with how developer jobs work outside of major corporations. I’m not saying I wouldn’t want it, but it’s wildly unrealistic.
Pretty trade unions don't require everyone to work at the same shop. I paid union dues when I worked doing screen printing in a shop that was me, another dude, and the owner who did all the design. That was the entire business and we were still part of the local painters trade union.
That’s not what I mean.
So how would this work? Like SAG?
Amazon developers get treated like shit, and I work for a local place where I am not. Amazons wanna strike—do I have to? Fuck that. Fuck anyone who works for Amazon.
What’s the actual benefit for ME? Higher wages? Doubtful—my place can’t afford Amazon rates.
The anti-union propaganda is so deeply ingrained in you that you didn't even pause when you typed they out.
Come on bud, sell me on how a trade union is gonna help all software developers, and not just those at abusive companies like Amazon, google, etc. I’m not anti-union at all, but I very much doubt it would work for my industry.
Found the ML, all insults and no solutions.
