- enneff 16y agoUnions typically protect workers who belong to industries where there are more employees than there is demand. Programming is a highly-skilled profession that is constantly in demand. We don't need protection because companies compete for the good ones, not the reverse.
- gaius 16y agoBecause the people most in demand in the industry are the ones who have the most to lose in collective wage bargaining.
- philwelch 16y agoUnions by design are democratic institutions, and thus protect the average worker. Good programmers will be hurt by a union more than they will be helped, so the union shops will be stuck with lousy programmers and lose in the market.
