Each and every one of us deserves a union.
No thanks.
I've been a member of 3. They made for adversarial relationships between management and employees, with union leadership banking our fees. They cause other problems, like you can't fire the slacker, so people abuse it, pushing the load onto us conscientious workers.
There are places for them, they aren't good for tech.
Your relationship with management is always adversarial. They might put sugar and spice on it so you don't see it, but they are not your friend.
You sound like you've never been laid off.
Don't even have to be laid off to understand this. "You've asked for a 8% raise on the basis that you were promoted to a higher position last quarter and have been doing more work for the same pay, but we just can't swing 8% right now. But it's OK, we're all friends here. How about 4% instead?"
