Workers Union

backbay

To my knowledge there doesn't seem to be a workers union in architecture. I'm a student so if there is, excuse me. Just seems like that just might be the reason why salaries are low and work hours are long. Anyone care to educate me as to why we don't have one?

There's one called 'architecture union- it's about time' that should answer everything for you.

Unionizing the proletariat is justice. Unionizing the bourgeois is tyranny.

What I really mean to say is that construction workers get safe working environments and health insurance.

Architects get Herman Miller chairs.

there are plenty of desk-job professions that have unions. they work less and get paid more.
