That's a fantastic video. I'm commenting mostly to save the link for later, but I cannot imagine unions trying to mesh with the tech world.

Can you imagine having a "frontend developers union" which disallowed backend work (or vice versa)? What a nightmare.

That's not how unions work at all and especially not the union described by OP's article. Can you imagine strongly opposing something that would benefit you, because you don't understand it nor take the time to?

I've only been exposed to unions through conferences, so I may not be completely informed, but this is the only way I know unions to work (also from my grandmother having been a teacher in NY, and strong union advocate).
