hot take: software people are going to regret not unionizing when we could

Seeing this take a lot in last couple hours but when exactly was this most feasible? IMHO any labor action taken in last 30 years leads to workers immediately being replaced by scabs and the action failing. Any sort of labor actions probs have lead to more firing than we realize, & I would argue...

5 of the 6 presidential adminis and most state gov'ts have been unfriendly to unions and labor power generally. Seems like little has changed and there will be little hope of forming solidarity in such a labor unconcious era where most think they're 1 career move away from being the boss

cc @dollspace.gay maybe there's some engineering labor history to consider, an alternate path which was taken in a similar circumstance?
