I see the same.

If there would be an "IT people"'s union it would be likely one of the most powerful organizations on this planet—as verbatim nothing in business works without computers these days (which need to be constantly operated and maintained by some).

But even mentioning the idea of such an union will give you instant backlash, up to pure hatred. Even in the EU where unions in general are seen as mostly positive by the majority of people. (But for some reasons not the IT crowd).

In the US I had to work with unionised workers and they would come in at 7am, do whatever they did and at 4pm they would drop everything and would not care if you needed them to work overtime to finish a project on time. Obviously paid overtime, in case anyone wonders.

In other cases I worked with non-unionised workers and they worked more and they were actually cheaper by the hour.

Tell me, how are unions good for business?
