> At the moment, I don't support engineers unionizing in tech.
Thankfully in many European countries the unions work across industries, it doesn't matter what you do at your desk, everyone on the building gets into the union.
So what do I get?
40 hours work week, want me to do more? Pay extra or give additional vacation days in exchange.
If I am ill or you fail to find a job for me, you cannot just fire me without compensating me for it, and giving a legal reason why.
I get a proper severance package in mass firings.
Whatever you send me to my work email or phone, won't be dealt with until I get back in office, regardless how you feel about it.
Ah, consulting can also be also unionized, unless you are doing it as freelancer.
