+1.The fact that most current tech unions are more about $POLITICAL_ISSUE_OF_THE_DAY (e.g. forcing the company to stop working with organization X) instead of just workers' rights and compensation is what turns me off of them. I believe they would be more successful if they split into goal-specific unions: most workers would have no issues joining the "real" union, and those who have specific opinions on political issues could join unions for related issues.
