    Sounds illegal until I realized its tech workers who refuse to unionize and think they are getting paid bank but to live like a virtual slave.

      As one in the industry, it’s incredibly frustrating. Colleagues have been saying “oh, we get all of these perks and get nice salaries, we don’t need a union” while others are bucket-crabbing with “you make big money, why do you need a union?”, both overlooking the immense amounts of unpaid overtime that are endemic. Then, there’s the push for RTO, which does nothing to benefit employees and would be readily prevented by strong unions.
