Hell no.
Unions serve a big need when employers exploit employees in a detrimental way. They did great things to expectations about safety on the job, number of work hours, ageism.
In tech, we get paid better than most of the population, perks are expected and provided, and equity sharing makes some people rich. Yes, you could maybe get paid more if there was a union restricting labor supply, which is how they work, but it would really suck to have union seniority rules or have union say in who works where. It limits freedom for both employers and employees once the important items like job safety have been addressed. Union negotiations go both ways; the employer agrees to something, the union makes you agree to something by proxy in return. You may not like what the union forces you to do.

Was it in the ten thousands per year difference in average salary?
