Some of the largest unions in the world are for teachers, police, and government employees. I’m not sure why you would think a for-profit company is uniquely subject to its staff unionizing?

I have similar questions about public service unions as well. The reason why it makes sense to me for private for-profit companies is because stakeholders have a profit incentive to exploit workers. If non-profit tech workers are especially vulnerable to exploitation, then I guess it makes sense too, but I'm having trouble finding evidence for that.

The union is negotiating with management, i.e. those with hiring and firing authority who direct the work of others. Same as a for profit.

Are you under the impression that a non-profit's employees are volunteers?

Uh, non-profits absolutely may have unionized employees:

I... wonder if you don't know what a non-profit corporation is or how they work?
