The trade union of programmers. Reality?

Perhaps this topic has already been raised. But nonetheless.

On Habré, the problem of the transparency and legality of holding public tenders for various developments has been repeatedly discussed. And basically opinions about state participation in the IT sphere are as follows: “as long as it would not hinder”.

I believe that the state, being a structure financed by our taxes, should also help . And the greatest efforts should be directed to those areas where there is potential for development. And this, sadly, not Ladakalin. These are information technologies, in particular, programming. As evidenced by the success in international competitions.

So, one of the mechanisms for expressing a unified position and defending one’s goals is the trade union.

Here is a list of some of the tasks that such an organization can set for itself:
1. Promotion of bills on the protection of labor programmers. (All day long, looking at the squiggles on the screen is not so harmless)
2. Promotion of bills on the protection of intellectual property.
3. Regulation of software monopolies
4. Protection of free speech on the Internet

It seems to me that the existence of Habr proves that the Russian IT community is ready to move to a higher level.
I would like to hear your thoughts and ideas on the topic. Perhaps, this post will push someone to real actions :)

PS: If you put a minus, at least explain - for what.
