Manual labor Unions set productivity standards to qualify. They demand the appropriate training, where applicable, before such an individual can even join the union. "The 10x programmer" is a myth, as you yourself acknowledge - there is still a limit to practical human productivity. But I see no acknowledgement of such protections which ensure workers' productivity, and keeping unskilled scabs out of skilled-workers' unions. Skilled Worker Unions have weathered genuine attacks against such unskilled scabs with audition periods, training requirements, and rigorous professional quotas. In those cases where Union Coders genuinely suck, it is because the Union was organized without regard to how such Unions work.
