    Interesting trend in the comments - technology veterans who went through the dotCom crash have quietly moved to union jobs, and aren’t sweating this iteration.

    Worth keeping in mind.

        I would argue they are. My reasoning for this argument would be pointing at the history of the working class.

        What is your reasoning for saying they are not?

          Low pay for one. They start you low even if you have experience. You lose the ability to negotiate your pay or promotions.
