Something along these lines wandered through my nonce t'other night. There appears to be a fairly direct inverse correlation between labo(u)r union rates and economic equality. Has anywhere democratic ever experimented with mandatory unionization? The socialist in me thinks that would be a neat idea – the anti-authoritarian in me not so much. In relation to tech jobs, as I understand it union sign-up rates are quite low and that may be a function of the pretty decent wages the median tech worker makes. On the other hand I was listening to the news today and in my country they are experimenting with the idea of turning certain tech roles into trades and they say that the large tech companies might go for it. Not everyone is suited to 3rd-level ed. at the age of 18 and some learners are way more practical than theoretical oriented. If you could learn on the job and earn small wages while you're at it rather than racking up massive student loan debt that'd be super. Even better if you joined a tech union right out of the gate.
