I agree with you, but I also believe people can change. A change in conscious towards unionizing won't happen overnight. It happens as the workplace and job market conditions change, and that is what we are seeing right now in Silicon Valley. Tech workers have been used to rising salaries and benefits for so long, and we know that can't last forever. I think now we are going to see the decline. As the article mentions, AI is the hope for the owner class to de-skill tech workers and thus make them a more exploitable worker that won't be given a salary that is enough to live a materially comfortable life.

Perhaps one unionization can inspire another?
