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

You might be in need of distance glasses.

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

Contracting isn't always that cut and dry. Different industries and sectors of employment can use it for indefinite employment, and as such, many people can end up relying and hoping for longest possible work. I.e., USA Federal Contracting. Creating a union to protect workers and fight for financial fairness isn't something that Contractors should be excluded from -- it is still work after all. And in the case above-mentioned the actual workers do not negotiate with the contract issuer, but the middleman, a contract company -- human capital.

The infinite firing trick. Contractors.
