@Epic_Null @arclight Most people in Tech* in USA is under the same influence as the rest of the country and is actively exporting the influence to tech workers all over the world. Tech workers do not like Unions because they are temporarily inconvenienced billionaires. Unions would actively work against them when they try to exploit their workers later. All my techworker friends are unionized in Sweden. * Unreliable sources

@eq @arclight Not surprised about your friends in Sweeden. Sweeden is still a leading country when it comes to unions*, meaning the social infrastructure, knowledge, and support for unionization is readily available. It's a much shorter, much safer leap than being a trailblazer. I can't argue with the "Same issues as the rest of the country", since every tech worker here is part of the same system as the nurses and sales associates... but I would argue that "Recognizing just how deep in a cult you are, figuring out which views were from said cult, and figuring out a new, healthier way forward even when your friends and family are in the same cult" is an advanced social skill in and of itself. https://www.soc.lu.se/en/article/sweden-world-leading-union-membership-despite-declining-union-density
