Yea i understand, for reference my father works and worked his whole life in IT, my grandma worked as union rep and I'm interested in both worlds, I get that the struggle is real, the sector is young. Even just 30 years ago there was no IT market, for reference the transport industry is as old as time and yet this historic contract was won in 2023 AD, we just gotta push and organize.
