Many tech people have had very limited interaction with unions, and usually those interactions are negative.
For example, I was not allowed to run ethernet through the paneled ceiling to hard wire our conference rooms for the startup I was at.
Why? Well the building had a contract with a unionized cabling company so every cabling job in the building HAD to be done by them. We would have been charged thousands and had to wait weeks for a job I could do myself in 30 minutes.
