"It's a good time to unionize tech workers right now..."

Best time to form a union was yesterday. Next best is today.

I remember seeing articles on habr about unionization and that it is better done now when it is eazy.

Is it easy? Tech salaries have crazy potential, I'm not sure I'd be willing to trade job security for the limitations on that potential that a collective agreement might impose. It'd still be a tough sell.

Is it easy?

Relative to possible future? Sure.

the limitations on that potential that a collective agreement might impose.

I'm trying to imagine it... Trying to imagine "and salary shall not be more than xxx$/hr" in collective agreement. Sorry, I can't.

Salaries != Wages. Found the dev who needs a union lol

I wanted to say whatever "оклад" from russian labour laws translates to. Amount of money that will be paid no matter what.
