I felt the article is underwhelming, to put it mildly. It drones on and on, seemingly repeating the same point. Under different guises article says that if you are a low-level code monkey with no freedom or an "IT peon" doing menial tasks, unionizing can give you job security (so you can be sure that you can keep doing those boring things forever) and maybe raise your salary, too. That is probably a true statement. But this setup is BORING. The article claims this setup describes 95% of software engineers and I think this is nonsense. IMO at least half of the software engineers either have some project freedom and can pretty easily switch employers if they find themselves under abusive management. And this could be at risk if unionized: no firing often means greatly reduced hiring, too. Please count me out. My 2c.
