Because SW devs never wanted to unionize in any way as they say they'll get held back by unions and they'll make more compensation without them.

And no, most chartered engineers do not really print money, some making even less than SW devs.

In my insignificant EU country, nearly every profession has it's own labor union, and guess what, the IT union is one of the weakest, seeing some of the worst possible contract terms and work conditions for a skilled profession, while the metal workers union being one of the strongest, having some of the best perks, rights, working conditions and mandatory wage increases in the country.

It’s not a dirty leftist union, it’s a certification body to ensure the high ethical and professional standards of our members!

We can have cool ceremonies! Stuff to hang on your wall! A club house!
