This is why unions use to exist. If tech workers were in a union, they to stop this in its track.

But sadly over the years, some unions became very corrupt and others were allowed to be killed of by Companies and the US Gov.

Again I am glad I am at the age I am at. With that, I feel real bad for the young. From what I am seeing, between Climate Change, Living Costs and now AI, the young seems really screwed :(

My generation allowed these oligarchs to take over the US, it is not like no one knew that started happening in the 80s. So here we are.

I personally like using AI at my job and would resent being forced to join a union which opposed it.

The way that I guarantee my job treats me well is by being willing to quit whenever it stops working for me. Despite everyone panicking about AI layoffs, I still consistently get messages from recruiters trying to fill AI-related jobs. In your ideal world where the union is supposed to represent me but oppose AI, do those jobs still exist?

That will work until it won't.

But you're deciding to leave power on the table. That's kinda like leaving money on the table. And of course, it's typically the unsophisticated people who do that.

I have about another 10 years left, maybe 15 if I'm luckier than my father and grandfather, but I am in despair for the next generation(s).
