@bona_fide_rebel @toomuchpete @jakewsmith I’m not trying to troll anyone, I honestly thought the primary goal of tech unions was greater pay for everyone (in what is already a very rich industry). It is that simple.

@bona_fide_rebel @toomuchpete @jakewsmith Fair, I forgot about that one. So.. twice in 3 years?

@bona_fide_rebel @jakewsmith I don’t think I have ever talked about tech unions before, in fact I am pretty sure I haven’t?

@raganwald @mikerugnetta after some reflection, I now think this is about a specific group of tech companies that are so big they are basically nation-states and have to be changed from the inside, like you'd try to do in a democracy?

I definitely labored under the illusion that proposed tech unions were *primarily* about ensuring workers get paid as much as possible. (and I'm not saying that's a bad thing). Thanks to your responses, I'm starting to grok the other potential benefits now.

Pete has a good point about immigrants being the only thing that is saving small heartland towns from vanishing.

@casey_robertson all day every day!

@slashclee @mjg59 @mikerugnetta I think the union concept makes more sense outside of salary, since tech is such a rich industry already. I mean look up average starting salaries for a programmer, compare with the average struggling actor with a SAG card..

@raganwald @mikerugnetta perhaps the unionization drive makes more sense within those specific sub-industries, then?

@fugugames yes, I agree this is a much stronger specific case
