Hello, Do you ever wonder if you are really getting rewarded for all the
"value" you are providing for that "stake holder"?If you look at the builders
of a bridge for instance that was built 100 years ago when the wages were far
below the wage of today you can see that the stakeholders are now benefiting
from the labor of workers 100 years ago.
That project is still providing revenue that the builders may be entitled to if
you think about the long term value added.thanks,Greg

personally would not want a union, at least not one in a traditional sense.
Additionally, I've never been in a union so maybe my understanding is wrong or
outdated, however my reasoning for not wanting one are:
- I want my salary/benefits to be based on what I personally can bring to
the table.
- Similarly to #1, if I and/or my team perform better than the rest of the
company, I want us to be recognized for that and compensated appropriately.
- I don't want to start at the bottom of the totem pole at a new company
because I'm the new guy.
- I don't want to work with people that should have been let go due to their
performance but are effectively being protected by the union.
- I don't want to be forced to strike because the union is playing political
games that I don't care about.
There's a time and place for unions; when you're in the top 10% of national
salaries, you're not in a position to need one.
All that said, I work remotely, for a company that's not based in Arizona, and
therefore am paid relatively well compared to the local Market.

would it be time to unionize or change the way business is done in AZ?

No. As a rule software engineers/programmers/developers/computer scientists
all see themselves as professionals who are above unionizing and seldom or
never do. I think we're seeing the effect of Arizona being a provincial, 3rd
world location for headquarters and software development options.
It's similar to "we make the chips. We aren't friken good enough to DESIGN the
chips. They do that in NICE places."
