That last sentence is a total strawman.
Unions are not there so you get everything you want. They are there to turn individual negotiations and protection into group and collective one. So it's not just a single junior programmer fighting for their rights, but potentially all company SWEs fighting for this junior programmer rights.
If Meta faced a complete strike similar to writers' strike, their workers could achieve similar goals like writers did.
Or not - but nobody promises it, that's silly.
- Aeolun 3y agoYeah, so no union often turns out better for me because I ask for more.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoYou are always going to have a minority like this, but they are a minority. The data shows unions are better for most others. Get while the going is good or something like that. I'm sure there's room for highly paid consultants in a more organized future, with better wages and stronger labor protections for FTEs.
- gardenhedge 3y agoIt's not a strawman. Union membership is thrown around here like a solution to all problems.
