[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5664695, member: 93115"] Coders don't need degrees and certifications. Many are out of high school and many, many more are college dropouts. Think Zuckerberg has a degree? Think Bill Gates graduated college? Think Steve Jobs did? The economic headwinds the union enjoyed this contract are not likely to appear again in 2028. Union friendly party in charge of White House (as we know the geriatric isn't running it). Low unemployment. Low workforce participation. Record profits coming off a period of peak usage. Large competitor still being a customer (Amazon). Period of high inflation pressuring wages. Etc., Etc. If you think that contract is going to add on this one and that SOB's tactics will work again you are not seeing the big picture. The automation coming and swing of the country politically to the right that is occuring now with a SCOTUS that sides with employers over employees in 99% of cases will only increase over the next 5 years is going to devastate the union labor. RTW states are only going to increase and will even flop again in the one state that managed to beat them back (Michigan) as republicans have put spent massively to build candidates from the local school boards upward. Why do you think the whole banning books and other issues became such a fight? Those school board candidates will matriculate upwards through local elections and eventually find seats in legislatures where they will be repealing most of labors gains the last couple years.
