What do you think of software developers forming labor unions

Generally speaking, asking a question that begins “don’t you think that…” has the effect of limiting discussion and closing avenues for developing ideas together.

I don’t accept either of the presumptions your question makes though: a) unionism doesn’t necessarily lead to increased licensing requirements; b) increased licensing is not necessarily bad.

I support the idea of unions because I want to see more power in the hands of the workers that produce things with their own skill and labour.

I don’t think unions are the only, or best, method for that.

I would rather see worker co-ops.
