Most of the anti-union tech workers I've encountered over my career have vastly overestimated their abilities and value to the workforce. Their willingness to suffer abuse from employers (while taking pride in their refusal to establish boundaries) makes working conditions worse for all of us.

Most of the pro-union tech workers I know have never been forced to join a corrupt union that does nothing to help them while keeping the good old boys who contribute little to the company employed. Many tech workers are paid in stock so theres tons of incentive to get rid of low performers.

Sounds like a best of both worlds scenario. The overconfident tech bros can get to work "disrupting" unions and re-learning the same lessons.

The most aggressive I've seen advocating against unions are not ICs anymore and often are a part of management/capital.

Someone could be pro-union and still not support that clause.
