do unions work for intellectual labor professions? collective bargaining, to a large degree, depends on the fungibility of workers doesn't it? (I know what we all think of the intellect of journos and admins, just work with me here)

there isn't a lawyer's union or a doctor's union or a programmer's union and there are big compensation differences between individuals in these professions but that's not perceived as a problem

yes, but the education system was actually designed to be akin to an industrial assembly line for students and the teachers were always conceived of as fungible components. this is the Prussian system after all.

the fact that the college system has been reconstructed to be essentially grades 13-16 is really at the root fo the institutional collapse that is happening right now. the university is supposed to be completely different than industrial assembly line education.
