That has not been my experience with unions, but I have never worked in the US, so it might be different there.
In most countries where I've worked (Europe and Asia), unions have been nothing but beneficial.
- qznc 6y agoWorking in Germany in IGM pay scale, I do see these effects here. However, you can spin it positively as well. For example, firing young ones first is done because for people nearing retirement finding a new job is harder. Overall, the system is more "socially minded" with the tradeoff that disruptions are slowed down.
- seibelj 6y agoLike anything, I prefer choice. So if some software shops want to unionize, great. But I want the ability to join a company and not join the union, or failing that, be able to join non-unionized companies. If the goal is to force all software engineers to unionize, and then forcibly prohibit all non-unionized people from working in software, it's simply coercion and I absolutely cannot support it.
