Tech and Software adjacent professions have to be ones that are least likely to unionize.

There was an internal survey (unofficial) at my workplace right after a mass layoff 2 years back about how many were interested in forming a union. There were 3 options - Interested, Not Sure and Against. The option with most votes was "Against".

I could go into the reasons which were submitted in survey but in short most were related to hyper individualism that is so pervasive.

Admitting in a survey that you're pro-union might be (rightly) perceived as high-risk, no reward.

Yes, but the hyper-individualism is very familiar. I wonder if the balance has changed since the 2022 wake-up call.

Wow that really sounds like a captor killing a few captives and then asking the rest of the “ok, so who else wants to try to work together to escape?”

One would get far better responses if you just used the word "professional association" instead of "union".
