Thread regarding Western Digital Corp. layoffs

What is your opinion about forming a union to protect our profession?

How are we high-tech engineers any different than university professors, airline pilots, nurses, etc that get protection from corporate greed through their unions?

The US Union itself was created to protect corporations. It was an idea put together by rich men who owned big corporations so they can plug off riots that were commonly flaring up everywhere in the colonies. Founding Fathers?! Give me a break.

Ha! good luck on California changing its laws. Damn! the entire US political system is put together to let Corporations run a muck at you. One funny joke I hear everyday at the expense of the working class is that the US is a democratic country. When 90% of the population exists under the admin of corporations where is democracy? Spending 8 hours per day of your adult life inside the corporate environment is existing under tyranny.

The doctors and lawyers figured it out long ago: constrict domestic supply and lock out overseas competition through restrictive licensing. The restrictive licensing requires large political contributions and an effective lobbying arm.

As long as we watch TV and get smashed in the face by that uncompromising propaganda machinery, we will continue to be dancing Zombies.

Bernie Sanders has a role to play I think, to rekindle this not only in the SV but all over the country.
