That's even sillier. Of course only the top few people in the field enjoy the top few salaries in the field. A statistical tautology is not a political cause of action. If you define "highly compensated" as relative to the field, then we can never all be highly compensated.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoMy apologies, but I disagree. A union would be able to provide a higher compensation floor (as other unions have done and do today).
- closeparen 8y agoSure, a union could push the already-extremely-high compensation floor even higher.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoYou consider the existing compensation high compared to other non-engineer roles. I agree, but that is not my argument nor the reason I advocate for collective bargaining. I consider SWE compensation low compared to the value delivered (we don’t need to argue that, right? That’s pretty clear IMO), and therefore desire more of the value be shared with the labor generating it versus it being captured by shareholders.
