Bron seems like a good CEO. He's come up through the ranks at FM, so hopefully he's fully onboard with the workers. I had an account when they first got off the ground, survived the Opera days, and built their little email empire. I followed Bron and RobN on Twitter and on blogs.

If I lived in a place where there was an IT union like the Communications Workers of America union that covered IT people, I'd join. They are in a battle at the moment: https://cwa-union.org/news/cwa-leaders-and-federal-call-cent...

If he was the union wouldn't be necessary, right?

Not necessarily; maybe it's worth it to establish the union during good times so that if/when bad times occur later (under a less-friendly CEO) they'll be ready?
