It baffles me how many people in my industry (IT) want unions. Bitch you want more money and less stress, just go get a better employer. Stop being a pushover.
Unions are a lie sold to people who know that they're too shit at their job to cut ties with an employer because they might not find another one.

So they're extra dumb because virtually every IT and CS employer I've had contact with over the past year or more is desperately trying to find people. Had a guy at an ISP up here say a month ago he could double his staff overnight if he found qualified people. Had two guys e-mail me in the last week asking if I knew any of my former students who were looking for work, because they wanted people to hire.
If you're in a tech related field, and you're not happy with your current job (and competent), spend 5 minutes searching online and you'll almost certainly find people who would love to talk to you about jobs.
I think at least part of it is unrealistic expectations on the part of employers. There's like six guys out there who can do everything and every company wants them for all their roles. Unfortunately not even the people who are good at their job are unicorn tier candidates that are getting requested. There's simply too much to know and not enough willingness to train people.
