Minimum pay was an example, collectively bargained contracts offer other protections as well, but these differ more from case to case, so I didn't bring them up. I have also negotiated my pay up, but under the umbrella of collective bargaining agreements. As far as I know, you are always able to negotiate your pay up. This has worked pretty well for me as well.

> but these differ more from case to case Ok... and thats my point. Certain union provisions are bad, for many people, and you cannot pretend that they are a universal good. > you are always able to negotiate your pay up Non-union jobs in tech pay way way more, than most union tech jobs though, and union provisions prevent certain contracts that many workers would prefer. So the actual, measurable facts show that I and many others, in non-union jobs, are doing way better than most unionized tech workers.
