There’s no evidence that they do have additional leverage either. I could argue that they acted against their own self interest in many ways, but still don’t know for sure how things will work out in one way or another.
- elicash 7y agoThere's absolutely evidence that unions increase wages. 100%. I suppose you could argue that's happening out of employer generosity? And that they're more generous when there's a union?
- aianus 7y ago> There's absolutely evidence that unions increase wages. 100%. Does that hold for unprofitable VC-subsidized companies? They might go bankrupt if VCs are turned off by a unionized workforce in the next round.
- baron816 7y agoYes there is evidence that unions increase wages. But none for this specific case.
- gamblor956 7y agoThere can't be evidence of unions increasing wages in the tech industry because, as this article points out, prior to today there were no unions in the tech industry. Ever. However, there is significant evidence in blue-collar and white-collar industries, and in artistic and athletic fields, that unions increased members' earnings.
