Most of the highest paid athletes and actors are union members. Union membership doesn't have to mean everyone is paid the same. Teachers having the same pay has more to do with them being interchangeable than being union members.
- myfavoritedog 5y agoPeople bring up actor and athlete unions - but programmer unions wouldn't work that way to allow high-performers to shine, be heavily recruited, and highly compensated. Actors and athletes have extremely high visibility. They are singled out by fans who will show up to movies and games on that star power alone. A similar dynamic will not develop in the game programming world where even phenomenal developers labor in obscurity.
