I hate to say it but god damn if this is what you have to get a union to fight for in tech jobs, tech jobs need unions more than manual labor jobs, actually.
My union costs 1% of my monthly salary. This year, they threatened to strike and got us a 5% raise that way. And that’s just talking about money, not other benefits like paid time off (30 days per year).

I didn’t even know that was a thing :(
How much do unions cost?
Union dues are an investment.
Edit: Op coward, edited the comment from “imagine the union dues 💀” like an Amazon bot.
Why are you wondering?

Oh wow, that’s amazing! I’ve never been part of a union but this sounds like a huge benefit.
Yeah, it’s rough. Highly recommend you read “You Deserve a Tech Union” by Ethan Marcotte if you work in tech. It is needed now more than ever.
