I would never join a tech workers union. The concept is illogical.

  Funny enough tech workers are already part of a collective if they live in a country with a democratic government. As voters like minded people band together push for changes, directly or through representatives. So why would it be illogical for tech workers to form a union as companies grow in power to rival nation states?

    Unions only have power when they are the majority in an organization and can do collective bargaining. There is simply zero utility to be had from that in tech industries as these folk are already paid too much and can walk elsewhere for opportunities.

      Until they aren’t or can’t. Plan ahead folks as the companies are. And those companies are going to continue to view worked as necessary evils.

        You should always have an exit strategy from your current company. If you can't survive a long duration layoff event then your planning sucks.
