Yup, I truly don't understand why people in tech are so against this. It will likely be a net positive for all tech folks.
In Hollywood they have SAG (Screen Actors Guild) so a large union for high paying jobs isn't unheard of in America.
- minhazm 5y agoMost members of SAG are not highly paid. The median income for an actor is $43,760, and even the 75th percentile is only $60,760. The numbers for SAG represented actors is similar to these numbers. The thing is that not all tech employees are paid the same, nor should they be. Google and other similar companies often times pay multiple times the median tech salary.

- teachrdan 5y agoI think you just refuted your own point? Some actors are paid millions a year while half earn less than $43,760. This demonstrates that there are unions that represent workers who are paid multiple times the median salary.
- alistairSH 5y agoNFLPA, NBPA, and MLBPA all exist as well. Those are definitely highly-paid members (minimum salaries of ~$600k/year for baseball and football, and just shy of $1million for basketball).
