My industry (city government) has a union. We have strict 40 hour work weeks and can't go over, mandated breaks, work from home, fair treatment, and fair hiring and layoff policies. Managers have gotten in trouble for asking someone to work during lunch. Pay is competitive for the area. I could be making more at a large company, but I like not being stressed and my finances aren't stressing me at this job.

We should start
I work in tech, and I'm in a union. I think this has already been accomplished; it just needs to grow.
