For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I will not ever join a union. Though they might be
helpful to many, they are hurtful for the truly
ambitious and true out-of-box thinkers and doers.
Plus, once you unionize, it takes forever to get
anything done within the union, especially if it goes
against the pre-established bylaws of the union. No
thanks, I'll keep doing what I'm doing.
