> other fields have solved this issue by unionizing

careful with the "U word" around here. We don't need no stinkin unions, or any sort of professional association.

I mean sure we don't get OT and too frequently get asked to be in a hellish oncall rotation or some 80 hour a week death march. We like it that way and we don't want to do anything to change it!

Just say No. If they fire you, just change companies.

No need to accept these conditions. Eg Google and Facebook are always hiring and treat their employees better than that.

(And I don't really see why I would want to join an organization and throw in my lot with people who are not smart enough to take above remedy.)
