    No thanks.

    I’ve been a member of 3. They made for adversarial relationships between management and employees, with union leadership banking our fees. They cause other problems, like you can’t fire the slacker, so people abuse it, pushing the load onto us conscientious workers.

    There are places for them, they aren’t good for tech.

      your unions are ass then if you see them that way. but you also don’t bring up any of the useful things unions probably did for you behind the scenes. provide legal protection? contract negotiations? COLLECTIVE BARGAINING? hello?

        The word is bootlicker. There are of course bad union leaders, and the cure is the same: organizing.

      Your relationship with management is always adversarial. They might put sugar and spice on it so you don’t see it, but they are not your friend.

      You sound like you’ve never been laid off.
