I could see value in unions in some industries, but I would actively fight against one as a software engineer. I completely agree with the rest of your comment, this has become a new virtue signal, and a way for the worst among us to leech away value and hold us back. But I doubt you’ll get any advice for stopping it here. hn has turned into a midwit reddit when it comes discussion quality. I assume you should be allowed to continue working without joining the union or paying their dues.
