I am in a union, and I think everyone should join or start one too. It’s important to lay the groundwork for a strong union while you are still in a secure position, for the day you may not be. Like tech workers are seeing now.

I’ve had colleagues who don’t see the need to join a union because they have such strong protection in their contract so union memberships are dwindling in some areas… those people are incredibly short-sighted and don’t seem to get that a strong union got those protections into their contract before they even started the job, and a weak union can see those strengths becoming hollowed out in time.

Use your strength to protect the weak. If nothing else then because you may one day become weakened yourself.
