All companies I've worked for haven't had problems with unions. Though in the tech sector it feels that the employees dont have much interest towards it. I dunno what would happen if all programmers in a company would say that raise our salaries or we will quit. I guess the company would just hire contractors instead and it could even save the company money.
- analog31 6y agoSalaries are not the only things that unions can negotiate, and a group of employees can engage in collective behavior without formally unionizing. Work rules are another way. My dad told me about the union work rules at the factory where he was a white collar employee (R&D department). I'm reminded of those stories when I've tried to get someone to do some programming for me in a large organization. Granted these rules have their origins in preventing abuse, or replacing skilled labor with unskilled, but they existed nonetheless and were part of running a business.
