If you are super handsome, rich, smart and young, it is easier for you than most people to find another girlfriend / boyfriend... but you still want to have influence of the big decision inside your couple, you don't want to be abused...

Plus: who do you unionse with in a couple? If the point is to avoid abuse from the other part? If I want to have big say in an organization I become a shareholder (ie. Buy the ring) which, for many tech workers that is true (through stock grants/options).

Shareholder voices have become increasingly weakened in recent years, and not just at Facebook either. https://www.wsj.com/articles/control-geeks-tech-founders-want-ipo-investors-not-their-input-1491236464 https://www.wsj.com/articles/control-geeks-tech-founders-wan... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/27/business/dealbook/lyft-ipo-shareholders-pinterest.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/27/business/dealbook/lyft-ip...
- skitout 6y agoUnion can help to fight abuse in the workplace, does this seems to you irrelevant to tech workers ? If I understand you comment, you are against the fact that workers should have a say in an organization ??? That only shareholders could have a say ???
