      Because companies like Apple, Google, etc. treat their engineers extremely well in order to attract the best talent. Why unionize if you’re payed a ton of money, have unlimited PTO and work in a very casual office environment (or from home)?

      There are two reasons to avoid a union:

      1. Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.
      2. Perceived lack of need.

      If you are well looked after by your company and are treated fairly, there is no need to create a union.

      Apple may be in this category?
