    I hate to say it but god damn if this is what you have to get a union to fight for in tech jobs, tech jobs need unions more than manual labor jobs, actually.

          Union dues are an investment.

          Edit: Op coward, edited the comment from “imagine the union dues 💀” like an Amazon bot.

          My union costs 1% of my monthly salary. This year, they threatened to strike and got us a 5% raise that way. And that’s just talking about money, not other benefits like paid time off (30 days per year).

            Oh wow, that’s amazing! I’ve never been part of a union but this sounds like a huge benefit.

      Yeah, it’s rough. Highly recommend you read “You Deserve a Tech Union” by Ethan Marcotte if you work in tech. It is needed now more than ever.
