@darius I do think that trying to make the IGDA serve the labor-protective functions of a union, or thinking that it could, was a wrongheaded idea. I'm not sure I ever thought that it should but it does put efforts like the QoL SIG in a weird muddy space.

@edk at this point I think the way the economics of it all works out, a professional organization is necessarily going to end up on the side of employers. It is structurally built into things via mechanisms like "fiduciary responsibility"

at least back in our time with the org I think my line of reasoning was "I can't personally make a union happen, though I want one, but I can do what I can to make this org more pro-labor". It didn't work out
