Agreed. The best time to form a union was 20 years ago (Especially because Tech Workers had leverage because they were in demand). The second best time to form a union is today.

Call it an association or guild or something other than a union. Lawyers and doctor have unions but they don't call it that.

Those are setting the minimum qualifications for a licensed profession... but not the pay or working conditions for those professionals.

They're not even doing that! In the US, these qualifications are matters of state law.

Doctors definitely have unions!

You're thinking of the AMA which is a lobbying organization, totally different thing.
