What you are saying is true, but its always impossible to establish intentions. And either way you have to sue. All the best ever getting a job if you are known to do legal fights against prospective employers.
>>Union organizing is not a "part time political project," it is a legally protected right.
One believes in these things only until they become managers themselves. And every one aspires to be one in this industry.
The law isn't Tinker Bell, it doesn't require you to believe in it to exist.
> And every one aspires to be one in this industry.
It's difficult to think of anything sadder than a person who assents to his own exploitation in the hopes that maybe, someday, he will get to exploit someone else.
I also wish you the very best with your activism.
Oh god no, not even close to everyone in this industry aspires to be a manager.
Personally, even if I end up becoming a manager I don't think my opinion on unions will change. Ten years ago people told me that my opinion on taxes would change once I made more money too and if anything I support higher taxes even more now.
This is so far from the truth that I don't know how to make sense of your claim. Either you are living in a bubble or in a place which provides no career path to engineers (thus forcing them to want to be managers) or you are interpreting the data you are faced with incorrectly.
There are so many people in this industry who never want to be a manager that this claim of yours is frankly absurd!
