I can’t really imagine a union negotiating in the interests of privileged, mid six figure, 1%er software engineers. Even if it is made of us. That’s a little bit cravenly capitalistic for the kind of people who would be running a union in San Francisco. Rather, I think it would say that we, the members, are the powerful, and we have an obligation to use our collective power and wealth to advance broader left causes.

I don’t really want to get into it with my coworkers over exactly what our issue profile is, nor accept what I think the loudest voices will say. I prefer to choose my political organizations separately from my job.

Now if it’s truly going to just self-interestedly fight for our already well served interests, sure.
