Their suggestion that you can "just" get another job is simply an illusion, when whiteboarding is universally hated, and senior engineers are failing several job interviews and have to humiliate themselves to solve FizzBuzz for the Nth time.

At the same time, companies endlessly bemoan that they can't find enough people, so there's a big push for immigration to fill the gaps, bootcamps, etc.

Maybe those people that are anti-union because they consider themselves too skilled really are skilled, however the two issues I described above will definitely hit anyone from mid level downwards.
