Sure, you might. But any such union will have a large number of disaffected people and as HN has shown, a large number of these people blame H1B workers.
Their problem is that this visa exists. My problem is getting naturalised. Our incentives are not aligned and they've made that clear.
I want no part of it and I will actively participate in union busting to the greatest of my ability for this reason.
I don't think you can achieve greater than 2% penetration amongst employed engineers and I know that your system will threaten the 1.7% of engineers who are H1B workers. I think I'm in a reasonable position here and I'm not about to weaken myself. And I think everyone else is going to work through the same calculus.
Sorry, it's not you. It's who are likely going to be your comrades.
