None of the tech workers I know have been resistant to the idea of unions and neither am I. I would say it’s the exact opposite actually, like there is always some reason I can’t join whatever union or that we can’t form a new one for tech workers. So you end up with this tiny group of devs in the CWA, and this other tiny group in the UAW, and a bunch more who work at a place that has a contract with the IBEW but they can’t join that and on and on and that’s before we even get started on the number of people who are now considered contractors and can’t join whatever union anyway.

    I don't know. Quite the opposite experience here. I've always only heard stupid ignorant shit about unions from my colleagues. Things only strated shifting over the last coupleof years.

    Because of the personality type that's attracted to the field, engineers lean towards libertarian or authoritarian rightwing. I've met a few exceptions, but they're notable precisely because of their rarity.
