If you're going to criticize anyone who threatens your ability to make employment agreements freely, does that include corporations?
Apple, google, and other companies we're already found working in a cartel to keep software engineer wages down, and those were just the high profile explicit agreements.
I don't get people like you who find it ok for corporations to pool capital and output from all their employees in the negotiation process, but the second employees want to work together to even the playing field it's a deadly sin
- changoplatanero 9y agoThe problem for me is that if other software developers decide to join together in a union then the government lets them negotiate on my behalf even though I do not consent.
- lovich 9y agoI feel like that's the wrong view. The union is negotiating with the company and saying, work with only union employees or the union leaves en masse. Why would you have the right to just override the unions deal with the company?
- petre 9y agoBecause it's clearly discrimination to only hire union members. Same as only hiring christians.
- lovich 9y agoIt's discrimination to only hire people who will take below x$ an hour. You can make the argument that this is a bad type of discrimination and should be controlled, like discriminating against race/gender/age, but the fact that it's discrimination at all is not a strong argument
