I mean here in Argentina, we IT workers push against unions. When we have issues at work, be it salary or whatever, we just leave and jump ship into the next one Most work is remote and beyond junior positions, salaries are good. We don't even have to worry about compliance with law because most work in IT has to be taxed.

Negotiations? We do that when the relationship between both parties begins. Firing? Sure go ahead and do it, we don't give a shit.

I imagine IT workers in USA have even better salaries and benefits, so this measure makes no dent. Obvious even, given the size of the union, I mean 80 people come on.

I tell you, this isn't the news item they are making it out to be

After all, Argentina isn't known for its economic smarts.

Indeed, that's why it has about 3500 unions. None work at all thanks to the leftist in charge of the country
