MODERATORS
Tech/IT workers in not only the US, but mostly globally, have only themselves to blame though, since there is this weird anti union mindset that has infected the whole sector.
Whenever unions are mentioned on sysadmin related subreddits or communities, almost everyone is very negative, which is a shame.
Globally? The fuck you spouting? In the Netherlands, and especially my employer (IT, >10000 employees) advertises 3-4 different unions and has special offers like paying half the monthly union costs and the other half I can pay with my income taxes.
I'm not saying it is everyone. I'm in It myself and in a union.
But even here (Norway) there is always a lot of tech and IT people who will start with the "I don't need a union, because i can get a better pay etc. by myself" whenever talk of unions in these sectors come up.
