Tech compensation in 2021
If anything, if there are unions, they keep the engineers salaries down. At least that was my experience in Berlin, Germany.
Unions don't want "privileged" engineers to earn much more than average office worker.

Unions do what their members want. A software engineering union can do plenty of work to push salaries upwards.

Unions make sure everyone gets paid fairly equally. That doesn't work in a top heavy profession like software engineering where the top are 5x better and paid 5x more than the bottom.
