But what would unionizing help? It wasn't anything the unions should have power over that burst this bubble. What we all should have done was actually look at the business plans and not take any "new economy" jobs... something we could have done without a union. But we didn't, we bought into the BS just as stupidly as the investors did and now we're paying the price. And it really sucks, and I have friends that prove I was real lucky to land on my feet in only 4 months. But there's no way a union would have helped in any way, and given how unions screw up the wage scale they probably would have made it worse by increasing the necessary number of layoffs. Of course they might have put layoff numbers in the CBA and forced the businesses into a situation where they couldn't cut to sustainabilty and thus caused more businesses to go under outright. Either way unionizing would have resulted in MORE unemployed tech workers, not fewer. As it always has because unions are bad for business.
