you could work for an employee owned company instead of just being a member of a union. you won't have to pay union dues. you can cash out by selling your share to other employees and quitting.

we're straying away from the major point here that computer touchers aren't real workers and do not deserve to be in a union

if you don't speak for computer touchers now, there will be no one to speak when they come for you

union membership goes in cycles historically where the membership lags decreases in worker protection and wages. we are in a period with relatively high wages and few physical risks for it workers. In a few years when this changes it will be easier to attract union members
