Don't worry, I'm sure the union has your back. What's that? No union in the tech industry?

  Why do we need unions when it's so easy to start a company? There is no monopoly on means of production when it comes to software.

    Sure would be nice to own my company's patent portfolio and to be able to rent it out to them.

    The fun part about unions: when you see your company has $200 billion cash in the bank, the union gets together and says "we made that. everyone deserves a raise." If you're a programmer working at Apple or Google making less than ~$3 million per year (or any other large-scale, profitable firm), you're being taken advantage of.

      I laugh heartily when management types say they want someone to be "more of a team player". A team player-- that is, a unionist-- is the last thing that Silicon Valley investors and executives want.
