Software engineering has this culture of innovation, invention, disruption, and reimplementing everything from taxis to space travel to payment systems to currency to food from scratch. Why couldn't they attempt to do the same to labor relations.
Why assume that the day after a tech union is invented, suddenly you're stuck with a massive clanking bureaucracy that's identical to the ones that were formed in very different industries many decades ago?
I think the burden of proof is on those saying, "This time it will be different."
Well, why don't we apply the scientific method and try it out! This industry was built upon experimentation and radical thinking.
Unionization is much more of a social experiment than a technical experiment.
