in reply to Should Programmers Unionize?
There are two main reasons, why one should join a union.
First reason, one works in an environment where the work is highly standardized and the result of this work is nearly independent from the skill level of the worker.
Second reason, one works in an area that requires a high level of specialisation but where the skills are totally useless outside this specific area of expertise. Moreover, the employers themselfs are highly organized.
Example for 1)
traditional industries
Example for 2) Teachers, pilots, rocket engineers
Where would a programmer fit?
