Most unions in the USA aren’t for small companies in tech. If you want a raise, profit sharing, benefits, etc., it’s not like a web developer can’t go look for another company. That’s quite different for true union members, particularly government. You can be the best teacher or postal worker in the area, but government services don’t have local competition. Non-government union employers also typically have few competitors in the same area and have either a monopoly or oligopoly on the market (eg. steel companies). While KS and IGG are the only two major crowdfunding players on the internet, they’re still competing against other small companies that use techies in web development.

EDIT: Oh, and I wouldn’t mind a pre-order site which guaranteed delivery or your money back. Amazon does this, but not for the projects seen on KS.
