Unions will come with professional licensing and tests to be a software programmer. I would hate this since now it’s very easy to get into the industry with several alternate modes of training. It would also create friction with hiring developers from overseas and really hamstring America’s ability to get good software out quickly. I also think we make a good living so I don’t see what exactly would improve. The only thing I can think of is unpaid overtime for salaried workers.
