I agree that unions can be bad, but i think if done properly they can be an advantage,
Any other suggestions for winning out against big companies would be nice, but its hard to fight off the giants when u are a sole indivudal, even though laziness may come with unions,
Does the good outweight the bad...?
Personally I think one thing that lacks for programmers and other employee's with similar ideologies (testers.... IT) is that we are highly independent but can be a force to reckon with when we form together. I think the problem currently is that due to our independence we have a problem forming unions, we need to understand that to "stick it to the man" we need to unionize, even though this may mean lose of independence (even though in some ways gaining more power) we can not let ms or others run over you with a steamroller. Continually as new companies get larger, they all get stagnant and everything turns politically, so we need to do the same and fight back....
Its about time some type of union was created for geeks and nerds to fight back... "Stick it to the man" time.. just watch out for flying chairs and angry managers
