US software engineers need a union.

If I hadn't already landed a job somewhere else, I would only return with a 20% pay bump and an iron-clad contract.

This is a boom and bust industry. Projects come and go and only to a lesser extent if you work at a software company.

I would recommend IT/server administration as that is a constant business need, if you prefer stability with more limited upside.

Unions add another layer of bureaucracy to make small changes. This is the exact opposite of how software and technology works.
