      @inmysocks hah! you didn’t think it would be th— It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
      Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid;
      Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made;
      But the union makes us strong.

      Solidarity forever,
      Solidarity forever,
      Solidarity forever,
      For the union makes us strong!

      @yet close but no cig— They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
      But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn.
      We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
      That the union makes us strong.

      Solidarity forever,
      Solidarity forever,
      Solidarity forever,
      For the union makes us strong!

      @ng0 i work for a german company but i don’t know that much about unions in germany. as a foreign contractor, i’m totally disconnected from those systems.

      sounds like you need a union

      diversity of fronts, comrade

      @fox

      > I don't think you can get the critical mass for a union to work

      you aren't the only one to bring up this point but, regarding software, think about the number of maintainers most common infrastructure has: between zero and three. more than that takes full-time resources and funding, which can be cooperatively obtained, but "a critical mass" is in most cases closer to two programmers than a thousand

      @fox

      > You've missed my point somewhat

      sorry for the flippancy, it's just "union" can refer to so many different kinds of trade and labor organizations while your critique aimed squarely at a very specific form. this happens once or twice whenever i bring up unions so i'm not always inclined to engage the critique.

      @fox

      > programmers need to collectively negotiate with their employers

      that is the general idea. critiquing specific forms and then concluding "collective bargaining is bad" only helps your boss exploit you.

      i'm in the US where even saying "union" can get you fired. being that our craft is international, we will ultimately need international forms of collectivization in order to demand and establish the high technical and ethical standards that public infrastructure requires.
