Grew up in a union family where I benefited greatly from the protections provided. But it seems to me that they really only help blue collar workers get higher, some would say reasonable, wages. As someone who worked their ass off for 10 years since graduating and negotiated my way to a senior role, I haven't seen one compelling reason to let someone negotiate on my behalf. Think of the smartest engineer you know. Are they in a union? Probably not.
- mitchdaily 6y agoI make way more in my unionised engineering role than I did previously working at a multinational software firm, and more importantly when I have problems with the company I have access to support and legal advice. Making bank working on software is great until the company starts to stuff you around, or some executive takes a dislike to you
