Why is he being downvoted?  I don&#x27;t get this site sometimes.
San Francisco is a union town--get used to it.  (It might be the last union town.)<p>Yes--firefigheters, electricians, plumbers, cops, etc.  make a very livable wage.<p>I&#x27;ve been in a San Francisco union, and never felt so--what&#x27;s the word--protected.<p>No--I didn&#x27;t like the fact that everyone was paid the same, but in retrospect I was wrong.  There will be a day where you are not the best in the room.  You won&#x27;t be the Rock Star.  You will thank the socialists for that union.<p>To be honest, I think certain sectors of tech would benefit from a union.  So many of you go to that fun place.  You get free food.  You get free sodas.  You get the fun office hootenannies.  And a salary that&#x27;s barely livable.<p>We&#x27;re still in a bull market in tech.  All the Ayn Rand&#x2F;Rebublican mantra will get very old when it gamblers decide to pull that money back in.<p>Sorry, I&#x27;m a fan of unions.  Worked too many non-union jobs; jobs that were worse than not working.  For some reason, owners only like to pay just what they get away with.
