My good man, you are responding to an actual union organizer who actually spent the recent boom years doing "now is the right time" work at software companies, at the actual right time.
This is really interesting! What motivated you to start? Itβs not like SWE are poorly treated on the scale of all professions. Do you predict some really bad times after the boom times?
It's easier to make a case to workers when things aren't so good.
This is particularly significant in software, where we have little experience with the benefits of organizing. It's an uphill fight to convince fellow workers. There have been decades of, now internalized, anti-union sentiment from owners.
