I make a lot of money and don't work very hard. I can be fired at any moment but I don't care because I can get another job easily and am financially secure. my ability to switch jobs gives me leverage in negotiating and employers seem to want to keep me happy. why would I want to join a union?

oh look, we're already discussing how to bring work to a halt. I wonder why unions have a bad reputation.

lampey posted:there are unions for grocery stores here in CA. why can't IT unionize? because grocery stores employ low skill, low wage, largely replaceable employees with nothing but the power of collective bargaining to give them any leverage. IT workers are (relatively) highly skilled, highly paid, possessing domain and corporate knowledge that makes them difficult to replace. they also generally receive a decent benefits package and have a robust and competitive employment market. the reasons that make it reasonable to unionize grocery stores do not apply to computer touchers.
