The only way this would work, is if we entrench ourselves into US politics and spend hundreds of millions of dollars of bribery/lobbying money.
Sure its definitely going to be bad for the rest of US citizens, but if the medical field is going to extort us, why can't we join in?
- lr4444lr 3y ago100% agree. I think it is because we can't get out act together to create a professional organization to gatekeeps credentialing, so that we can "police our own". Hence, the whole tech interview drama, because there is no uniform metric of quality, because anyone can call himself an "engineer". I think if we fix that problem, we'll get most of the benefits of unionization downstream.
