I actually agree with a lot of what you said. Software engineers didn’t want to form a union and stuff because they had high salaries and we’re so sought after. lol, to be clear, I’m not one of those crazy useful or overpaid tech guys (not anywhere close to FAANG). Although overpaid is always relative. Regardless, I think all workers should unite beyond tech … it’s the “tech bros” that are also making the world worse right now and I’m not happy these chuds are holding that moniker.

Unionizing in my country is pointless. You have to join the union of your employers branch, i.e. sales or metal work. Sales however includes cashiers and other low skill jobs. That changes entirely how the union acts. Want to change employer? Have to change union too. Just all the hassle. Also low skill low pay jobs dont understand why SWEs should complain because you got homeoffice and better pay. Lets just say solidarisation is stopped by envy. I worked as cashier too and studied twice but workers council sides with employers because we didnt work our way up???
