I feel like I'm the only one that ever asks this, but especially with the engineering team (and software engineers in general) why haven't robo-unions become a thing yet?

While politics will be hard as always, instantly verifiable direct democracy is achievable with a distributed ledger + PGP...

In addition to that I personally think that jobs that require you to be on pager duty at all should be paying way more than they are, but everyone accepts it without batting an eye.

Not everyone thinks that direct democracy is a good system.

Cool, then do representative, or have a dictator or whatever other system people think is good -- the problem is that no one seems to be even trying.

Ideally I'd love to even see multiple unions and some competition between them, that might be a better corruption control than anything people can think up.
