This is HN, where labor unions are considered nice-in-theory-evil-in-practice while we with eyes with open resign ourselves to doing nothing.

Your livelihood has a price (duh, your wage). But making cynical remarks about how stupid it is to want things to improve? Priceless.

Only from the US HNers for the most part, I enjoy the benefits unions have brought to my work life.

Kind of ironic, given the way unions came to be in US during the 1930's.

Union!
You know who will shut up and do as their told, the H1B replacing you this fall
Nothing like self-imposed anticipatory pressure ruining one's life. Maybe you are right, maybe not, nobody knows. What everybody knows is that life is happening now and its extremely short even in best scenario, yet few act accordingly.
