Germany is shitty though when it comes to tech. The pay is garbage compared to US top companies so they lose out on the top global talent.

It’s possible that unions are great for average and below employees, but they appear to be a pretty sour deal for everyone used to big tech income in the US.

You can fill the blank with the name of literally any country on earth and the sentence will still be correct. Tech salaries in the US are a huge outlier. There is not a single other country on earth where ICs can earn remotely as much as they do in the US tech hubs. Even US top companies don't pay remotely as much in their non-US offices.

Every country other than the US is shit when it comes to tech salaries. I doubt unions have anything to do with that either way.

If you use the same argument then how do they make the world's top luxury cars with "average and below" union workers?

My impression is that tech is one area where union membership is very low in Germany.
