this is the way the economy runs for steelworkers and the way it runs for programmers. period.
This is the way the steel and auto industries in this country work. That is why Ford makes a good bit of their cars in Mexico and why we import more steel than we produce. Unions are killing these industries.
I don't want a Union to destroy my ability to negotiate with my skills for a fair salary. I make about the same salaries as some people 10 years my senior in the same industry, because I have learned a broad base of skills and gotten good at them. In a Union, I would be paid based on my seniority, not skill set and contribution to the company.
