Learn from South Korea: all top tech companies are unionized. #1 search engine (Naver), #1 messenger (Kakao), #1 game company (Nexon), etc.

I thought Samsung was the top tech company.

Unions do suck, so that shouldn't be too hard of a job.

They do, and they're still better than no union. It's all relative.

Unions don't suck, Google sucks.

If Google does indeed suck, wouldn’t employees leave for a company that doesn’t? I wonder what the attrition looks like
