I cannot disagree more. I see absolutely nothing in software engineering that is antithetical to unions. Much of what you claim could also be applied to acting, or to professional athletes, who do have unions.

It's already known what Amazon pays. I don't care where I'm located, they had better be paying me at least that well.

The public defender had nothing to do with it. This was a lawyer his parents hired. A lawyer that was trying to save him from death row, and who saw that the client's desired strategy was coocoo crazy pants. Does the attorney have more

He wasn't working against his client. His client was facing the death penalty, an the lawyer was trying to get him a lesser sentence.
