1) we get higher salaries to compensate, that's in fact why SWE's are often "exempt" (as well as most jobs making over $80k iirc. We should probably raise that ceiling)

2) I already do that. Maybe I'm lucky, but I've never felt pressured to answer a work message unless there was a legitimate fire.

3) Non-competes are already illegal in California, which I imagine has the most SWEs in the US.

I'm all for unions, but I already see the pushback here. Visa situations definitely suck though.
