Because it's all about suppressing wages of the one bastion of the middle-class in knowledge work that temporarily escaped the ire of the ruling class. Now, that's gone too.
This is what happens when people prostrate themselves before the (nonexistent) mercy of wealth instead of forming unions and their own co-ops for more stability and long-term happiness.
- azemetre 1y agoDon't think unions will happen in the tech industry because the workers are too selfish to have solidarity with one another. Just look at how hiring is done compared to the job duties required. I do think implementing workplace democracy is much more likely, and can be legislated into law too. While tech workers will argue about unions, I feel like most of them wouldn't argue about getting the chance to vote for their boss. Do you have experience with unions yourself?

Just look at how hiring is done compared to the job duties required. Tech skews low on socioeconomic-political intelligence. It would benefit this group greatly, but too many avoid it or are thoroughly indoctrinated to sabotage their own interests. > Do you have experience with unions yourself? Tech, no. Corporate America and a good fraction of academia are heavily anti-union.
