"Tech jobs don't [have borders]"

That's going to be a huge surprise to the people, both tech workers and otherwise, who live in one of the major tech hubs where all the tech workers congregate.

Yep, and when workers in that hub become too expensive and less efficient because of unions, where do you think the jobs will move?

US unions rely largely on holding a monopoly on the supply of labor. When that monopoly disappears, they lose all power.

Workers in hubs are already more expensive, but jobs don't seem to be moving.

Are you claiming that the jobs won't leave no matter how expensive the workers are?

I'm merely pointing out that the costs are already more expensive, and this doesn't seem to be causing many to relocate.

You're really so naive as to think that companies are just going to avoid gigantic markets for engineers just because of unions?

You know that unionized jobs are _not_ drastically different over those that aren't, right?

"You're really so naive"

You're really so naive to think that unions don't change productivity?

Why don't you go and ask Germans, the Dutch, Swiss or Nordic countries, which have gigantic union presence, if you think unions have anything to do with productivity?

The problem with US isn't with the unions, it's with the corporations' complete vitriol against them.

> unions have borders

there are international unions and federations of unions actually

> there are international unions and federations of unions actually

Not really, that's just naming and marketing.

No only that, unions actually compete with each other across countries. An union in the US is fighting for US workers, and to keep jobs in the US, and might be competing with an union in Mexico for those same jobs.
