As a tech worker in rhe U.S. we are definitely not being exploited. I'm all for unions but we're doing just fine.

Let's just say that some tech workers in the US are being exploited more than others. A lot more

I hear what you're saying: we're very well compensated. But think of the profit your team helps generate for your employer. It is a lot more than the combined salaries of the people who actually make the product / service.
