Forget the H1-B program, disgrace that it is, and reflect on the power collective bargaining would give to software developers. Why do you think the NFL, NBA and professional baseball players all belong to unions?

DON'T YOU READ? I'M AGAINST THAT POWER! IT'S WRONG! It's killing the sports you mention. It's killing America's economy right now. Collective bargaining is nothing buck seeking revenge for imagined mistreatment. The unions are dictating not just salaries and benefits packages, but how the business itself is run. That's not how things are supposed to work, and the businesses suffer because of it. Even Lexus, which is worker owned, doesn't give the average shmo on the floor the power unions have and seek. They don't need it and would probably screw things up if they had it. Labor unions should not be able to tell business owners not to introduce new money saving technology. When they do (which is what's happening right now) that's wrong and bad for business. And when it's a key business for the whole economy (which Global Crossing never was) it's bad for America.
