Sorry, yes, that wasn't the best written sentence. :) I wouldn't actually say the problem is laziness. Developers are famously lazy. It's more of a problem of malignantly wielded protected status. A helpful analogy to the non-unionized world might be a manager's pet employee or a nepotic hire. A bad union environment systemically rewards this in addition to reducing wages through dues and reduced opportunity for good workers. Wage theft is serious, but has enforcement paths independent of the presence of a union and if reform is needed, it should start there. I am sympathetic to the plight of the poor but they can be harmed by labor practices supposedly friendly to them.
