Hard to unionize a digital industry, very easy to find someone willing to take lower pay and “scab” when location is not truly a factor. Not to say impossible, but software development is one of few trades that just by the nature of being digital is pretty hard to unionize.
- hnthrow0287345 7mo agoIf we believe that, then the real question/answer for the OP's worries is that software development is in a race to the bottom, and then the advice becomes "have you tried switching to hard-to-automate-and-outsource industry?" because you are certainly never going to get respect by volunteering to be paid less just to remain competitive with cheaper workers
- lukewarmdaisies 7mo agoMy advice broadly would be to find some way to be difficult to replace, and that’s one way to do it.
