Re:Unions = No Motivation To Perform (Score 1)

Keep in mind that unions establish minimums, not everybody gets paid just the minimum. I'm a member of the Writers Guild (movie-television industry), I get paid considerably more than the negotiated minimum as do most of my friends. There are union members who get millions of dollars per screenplay -- but no member gets less than the minimum. I also get portable medical insurance, residuals (wouldn't tech workers like to get those?), a retirement plan -- this for %1.5 of my paycheck). I'm still totally freelance, going from employer to employer every few months. On the other hand, the entertainment business has very few employers.... so the tech industry may not be ready.
