A union would protect everyone. And nobody is saying that a senior engineer should get paid the same as a junior.
You live under the impression that better workers will earn more.
In practice the skill that earns higher salary is to pretend to be very competent by using jargon and parroting stuff.

- pyreticRitual 3y agoDo terrible NBA players get to keep their jobs? The pithy response is to point at like, James Harden, but on the whole professional basketball is very meritocratic and yet they have a union. Pro sports in general. Netflix said they run their company like a pro sports team, why not include that players have a union?
- bjornsing 3y ago> Do terrible NBA players get to keep their jobs? Sports is different because there’s only a certain number of spots on the field. This changes the dynamics and keeps the crab mentality at bay. The same is not true for most workplaces.
- pyreticRitual 3y agoHow so? The limited number of spots seems like it would enhance negative behavior, not curb it.

Remember that people who believe things like this would be in the same union as you, be paid just as well as you thanks to union contracts, and expect you to strike on their behalf. Do you really want to be in solidarity with people like this?
