Is it easy? Tech salaries have crazy potential, I'm not sure I'd be willing to trade job security for the limitations on that potential that a collective agreement might impose. It'd still be a tough sell.

Is it easy?

Relative to possible future? Sure.

the limitations on that potential that a collective agreement might impose.

I'm trying to imagine it... Trying to imagine "and salary shall not be more than xxx$/hr" in collective agreement. Sorry, I can't.
