This is exactly what the article says to do. I also paused at that section that listed all those crazy things, if you power through and get to the end you'll find this:
>If you’re a conscientious engineer, you are probably going to find the above suggestions somewhere between counterintuitive and horrifying. You should! They are horrifying! This is how deeply capital’s war on workers is scarring our profession.
>These people are actively trying to take your wealth away from you and keep it for themselves. You need to protect yourself.
>Oh, yeah, we should also have a union. Sure. Let’s get on that one of these days.
For being the point of the article (and it is), it's very well hidden. I like the article and feel like we need more of this out there, but they should be written a little better.
