Because we'd lose our jobs long before voting on a union. No way they'd care about the very tiny risk of very tiny fines as opposed to the huge cuts in wages to IT workers that have been made over the last decade and continue to be made.

Okay sure, but you do understand that's a risk witb every corpo, right? Anything big enough can shrug off fines. Worker protections by the government aren't what allows unions to exist, they were pushed for by already existing unions. The real strength is in numbers. They literally cannot fire all of us, or even 90% of us.
