This is why we need unions, period.
edit: It’s always amusing to see HN readers start pant-shitting whenever someone posts a comment in support of unions. :)
- everdev 8y agoBut didn't they make this happen without a union?
- enraged_camel 8y agoYes, but only because software engineers generally have more leverage than employees in other fields. (I meant "we" as in "our society".)
- int_19h 8y agoSo, do software engineers need unions?
- enraged_camel 8y agoIn certain sub-fields, such as game development, they would absolutely benefit from being part of a union, yes.
- ionised 8y agoYes.
