As someone with way too many years in the tech industry having suffered these toxic brogrammer cultures I can confidently say the reason unions won’t take off is people assume if “I am in a union then as an engineer I’ll only make as much as the project manager, and I want my 300k TC!” Which is completely incorrect but good luck convincing these younger engineers that, I’ve been trying for years.

That’s a great point, unions are really under utilized in tech and would help a ton with this. I’m not sure if forming a union is 100% of the solution though, there are powerful unions in hollywood and sexism has still been allowed to run rampant there for example
