if you can't unionize FAANG, there is no point, its like the UAW but they never got into GM or Ford
you will never unionize FAANG:
the highest paid ICs will see no point, a union is just leveling them down and forcing them to join ranks with people they don't really care that much about
the lowest tiered employees are fungible and can be terminated before they can organize
HN will want to reflexively downvote this, but think it through...how do you unionize the entire engineering dept at a place like Apple? its not possible
- DonnyV 1y agoThis sounds like peasant thinking. Are you waiting for the king to say when its ok to unionize?
- normalaccess 1y agoWhat about the people that want to only have one boss and not be sucked into a collective blob that only cares about money? I am in a union and I have less rights that I did before because I can't work with my boss to figure out the best way to work. I am BOUND by contact and there are 400+ other people that I would have to convince to even change my schedule. Unions restrict the cooperation AND YOU. Your voice becomes one in a sea and is lost in the noise.

- e44858 1y agoHow can a union prevent offshoring?
- normalaccess 1y agoThey can't
- Chinjut 1y agoFor the same reason, the entertainment industry will never unionize.
