#2I need the long German word for “however this plays out, it will be used as a spurious example either for or against some extreme position”.
If it works out, great - that hardly means unions are a foolproof idea - and if it fails it’s hardly a condemnation of unions themselves. And yet, it will be interesting to see how this plays out!

#5we'll probably see a long trend towards more tech labor unionization. If you're up to it you can join the one big union in solidarity today:

#7I'm surprised they weren't already in one. I worked at a competitor (the Wall St. Journal) years ago and all software engineers there had to be part of the union.
Unions in the news industry are extremely common and powerful.
My subjective experience with it was that union membership was mostly inconsequential for developers. The market for programmers is so strong that people would just leave if they weren't treated well or compensated fairly.

Feels like right now in the labor market is when they would have the most leverage.

I bet that also means that they have leverage forming a union too. If the employer can't afford to lose em, that's a great time to cement power.
