What tech workers are saying they're underpaid? I didn't read the article because businessinsider is garbage. Some tech workers, including myself, are ridiculously over paid. Maybe my view is skewed but 170k is less than we hire college grads at today, in Seattle. Unions would probably hurt some tech workers.
