True however as soon as market conditions change and software engineers aren't in demand, which will at some point happen (hopefully not soon though), then businesses will adjust.
The best time to unionize is WHILE software engineers have power and leverage.
And for examples of kinds of unions people don't usually think about, I believe there is an NBA players union. The screenwriters guild of america functions as a union, I think. Lots of unions in Hollywood.
I wanted to give some examples of high-status or high-compensation professions where professionals have chosen to unionize.
- Aperocky 7y ago> True however as soon as market conditions change and software engineers aren't in demand I find this unlikely, while boom and bust cycles are normal. If software engineers aren't in demand, other people will have it worse. Demand for software engineer will then pick up faster. I don't see any major employment segment that has higher future prospect or long term security than software engineering.
