Maybe the tech scene in the U.K. and Europe is different, perhaps companies there have not overhired as zealously as the American tech industry thanks to Fed money. And as far as banks go, they're hiring on this side of the pond too, other industries do not seem to have made the same mistake as tech has. > I am not fundamentally opposed to unions, but I am also not convinced they will improve things either (either for me or my colleagues or the company). [...] But I don't think and of those factors change significantly in a (possible) recession that may or may not affect tech... My overall point that when the boom times end and employee leverage goes away, who knows what benefits will disappear as well. A union could help maintain that leverage even in bad times.
