We fought hard for this contract because we love our jobs. And now, thanks to our members and support from our siblings at #NYGuild, #NewsGuild, CODE-CWA, CWA District 1, the New York City Central Labor Council, New York State AFL-CIO and all of YOU, we have a historic deal.

We are setting a precedent for tech workers across the country. Every tech worker deserves a union – now more than ever.

Has anyone seen any good discussion or analysis of the potential long term impact the Israeli pager explosives attack may have generally on mass consumer confidence, not only in Israeli tech, but in consumer tech generally?

How on the nose is it to demonstrate so cleanly that the tech you buy is not trustworthy, harms people, is designed to exploit you, and may even. . . kill you? cc @pluralistic

"The first labour union of game developers in Ontario was formed by staff at Joydrop, only for the majority of employees that voted to reportedly be fired two working days after the victory."

"What’s really remarkable about the first night of the convention has been the full-throated embrace of labor unions at the convention, with the heads of several important unions making appearances on stage and Shawn Fain of the UAW knocking it out of the park with this t-shirt …."

"I thought the most powerful speaker last night was Shawn Fein, president of the United Autoworkers, who electrified the crowd by calling Trump a 'scab.'"

Long thread/6

Bosses are Bizarro-world Marxists. Like Marxists, your boss's worldview is organized around the principle that every dollar you take home in wages is a dollar that isn't available for executive bonuses, stock buybacks or dividends. That's why you boss is insatiably horny for firing you and replacing you with software. Software is cheaper, and it doesn't advocate for higher wages.
