>Now would be the time to unionize.
As someone who actually knows something about unions and their history, it literally never works that way. OP is correct. You can't make moves when you don't have power.
>Nobody wants to join a union during a hot market.
That's what has to change. I'm not saying it will change, but it's the only way. If your union is dependent on temporary conditions, it's weak. Weak unions are usually worse than no union at all. There are no shortcuts.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoWhile it's true that this would be a difficult time to unionize, I think part of that is that companies are looking to replace software devs with AI over the next decade. Not entirely, but a future where companies can get the same amount done with half the number employees seems reasonable with tooling improvements. Which is to say, it may not be the historically best time to unionize, but it also might be the best time that we'll see in the future, and the most critical time to do so.
