As someone who is newer in the industry, I can't say I feel the same. It was already fairly competitive when I was trying to get hired and now it is clear that huge numbers of people are getting trained for tech jobs and it is not clear that huge numbers of tech jobs will continue to be available. That said, I don't think this is what a union is about. They provide a mechanism for workplace democracy that is far more powerful than the one you are implying some of us can get with the "fuck you I quit" attitude. Have you considered situations where people have less flexibility to change jobs because they have kids or a sick parent? Or how people could be protected from things like workplace harassment and discrimination? Or how you might just really care about the mission of a company and want to keep it on track? The inherent nature of the institution of labour unions is about acknowledging what makes workers the same, even when they are different in many ways. People in power love when we view ourselves individually rather than as one large group because, when divided, we are easier to manage and exploit. You can simply admit that you are selfish and don't care about other people who haven't had it as easy as you have in this industry. But maybe you can imagine that there are many ways you could easily become less secure in your job and thereby understand the value of a union.
