I hate to say it but god damn if this is what you have to get a union to fight for in tech jobs, tech jobs need unions more than manual labor jobs, actually.
I didn’t even know that was a thing :(
How much do unions cost?
My union costs 1% of my monthly salary. This year, they threatened to strike and got us a 5% raise that way. And that's just talking about money, not other benefits like paid time off (30 days per year).
Oh wow, that's amazing! I've never been part of a union but this sounds like a huge benefit.
Union dues are an investment.
Edit: Op coward, edited the comment from "imagine the union dues 💀" like an Amazon bot.
Less than the value unions provide
Why are you wondering?
