I'm getting tired of people with no creativity or original thought posting about the same laments in here... Come on, if you people value your freedom and individuality so damn much why can't you think outside the box and see that an IT union or guild can be better and without the flaws the the unions of old suffer from?

I think a guild would set us free, allow us to do our jobs in a way that made sense, allow us to grow by being able to access more resourses to learn and be able to discuss things more readily with out peers and out mentors. A guild would protect our jobs to allow us to continue doing what we love without the fear that we would be replaced by the tactics of the unscrupulous.

You want freedom, join with other of a like mind and defend your freedom. Those who are not vigilant and who choose to stand alone against the world deserve not their freedom.
