  This right here. Unions are a much more potent way to tell management “that anti-consumer idea is bullshit and we won’t do it.”

  I’ve been tech conferencing all week and I’ve already seen two talks about unionizing tech workers. Maybe the tide is turning?

    You could unionize and invest the minimal effort into being part of an awareness/solidarity campaign.

  Honestly…yeah. I’ve been trying to push that boulder but I can’t be the only one.

  Very few people are willing to break rank because the system is working for them for now.

  Unionised software developer here. I think you’re more referring to just Americans.

    Well, no

    I think a lot of se jobs are not unionizable basically because they do not generate direct profit but only investments.

  The best time to unionize was yesterday. Second best is right now!

  Oh? Something tells me it’s they don’t now, they’ll be part of a union at their next job. It’s coming for all of us, just sooner for some.
