The union is a very useful phenomenon in society. At the same time, a huge army of web programmers, designers, optimizers and other IT people are deprived of all the opportunities provided by the union.
How can a trade union be useful?
You are sick and the source of income has dramatically dried up. You don’t have to pay the hospital one because you are on free breads. As a member of such a union you can get help.
You are a young startup. What if all union members will unanimously support your project with advertising on their projects?
The opportunities of the trade union in solving legal and even political issues are much more than the possibilities of one web vendor.
In the end, you will ever grow old. The union can solve your immediate pensioner's problems :)
In my opinion the front-face of the trade union can be made in the form of a site. Anyone can register on it, chat, make applications, solve problems. Each user will have, say, a trust rating to screen out freeloaders.
Due to what will the union exist? Due to union dues. Contributions will be sampled, that is, beginners will pay a little, more activists. Well, all in the same spirit. ')
Get a sort of "Trade Union 2.0". The main thing is democracy, openness and authority of the trade union.
