Tech is an industry that believes it can disrupt everything from hotels and taxis to space travel to food and nutrition to the very concept of money. Not to mention the speculative life sciences companies, those who presume to be in the business of disrupting death itself.
I just find it amazing that a community so wrapped up in its own hubris always seems throws up its hands when the subject of labor relations comes up, insisting that no further improvement is possible. (Also of amusement is that KS, a crowdfunding startup, is ostensibly is about disrupting how goods are created and sold). So perhaps the industry is selective about what it believes tech is capable of inventing?
Also, a tech union wouldn’t be an advocate of open offices or the overuse of scrum, if the HN commentariat is representative of industry workers.
