> The best engineers are worth literally 10x the worst engineers, but often get paid only 2-3x as much. If you want to see what happens in a collective bargaining system you can come to Sweden. Here the best engineers make about 1.25x what the worst make. Also, everybody makes a lot less than in the US. > 20% of the field, with 80% of the negotiating power… In a free market those 20% have 80% of the negotiating power, true. But in a union they only have 20% of the votes. So what will happen? See above.
