This guy genuinely doesn't seem to realise that two of his stated goals are in direct opposition: reducing global carbon emissions, and keeping his tech job. The most effective way for a union to achieve that first goal would be to forcibly shut the business down and disappear all the jobs that went with it, but something tells me that's not what he had in mind. > Aren’t you worried you could get laid off and this junior compsci grad or an H1B takes your place for half your salary? Yes, but frankly it's more important that they be allowed to compete with me on merit. Anything else is pure cronyism. ETA: I'm actually sympathetic to the idea of unions. They're a power structure consisting of self-interested humans, no different in principle from the power structure of entrenched capital, but they're of value because they oppose capital, acting to prevent it from swallowing everything. But then I read an article like this, and am reminded of the type of person who tends to rise to the top of such organizations.
