> I don't fully understand how tech became so opposed to unions I suspect it's due to the fact that while unions help the whole, they can remove the individual leverage during negotiations for salary and working conditions that many, especially seniors, want to preserve. Unions are often seen as a step towards developer commoditization which, like hour tracking, puzzle-based interviews, and other practices that de-individualize devs, is frowned upon by many. Some people just don't want to have to bargain collectively. Granted, while some unions allow all sorts of single-employee exceptions, one can bet a company would choose to treat the goose and the gander the same when given guidelines on what the lowest common denominator is. > Many in our industry are quite jaded about the poor behavior of large corporations Yeah, but not _their_ organization, or they'd go elsewhere (jobs are not currently very constrained).
