And a programmer friend I talked to couldn’t comprehend why he would want to be in a union.

I also had a programmer friend that was anti-union. He was like "If the place I'm working at sucks, I'll just find another place." Very short sighted and optimistic.

unions are a harder sell in an industry like tech where it's common to have a diverse skill set spanning work that could arguable each be it's own union. does a full stack dev have to join the database admin union before they can write sql queries?

those diverse skill sets also make the individual value of workers fluctuate a lot more as well.

I still like the idea of unions but I just don't know how you can make them work for tech;if anyone has any good resources on the subject I'd love to read more about it
