Tech types never thought they'd need a union. But with the current state of affairs in this country, I think it's time for a rebirth of unions.
In this economy however, we have no idea how far this will go. Companies are losing a lot of money. Some will go out of business, (like Sharper Image,) and others will reduce their workforce to a bare minimum.
The only sure thing is that the unemployment rate will rise. That's why I'm worried about my friends. If they lose their jobs like those poor folks at HP I fear they will have a very hard time finding new jobs.
