grechawIT managers should be crying out for unions. As a whole they are so misguided and incompetent that an agreement with labor would lift the whole boat.
Broad brush but speaking with 30 years experience in the field... AI will solve absolutely nothing for the practice of software engineering.

@[email protected] This is a much more complex topic than I can address in one post and I would recommend reading https://ethanmarcotte.com/books/you-deserve-a-tech-union/. In brief I’ll just say that the union IS the employees, and while they can be corrupted by bureaucracy like any group of humans it is fundamentally not the same kind of power structure as management. Legislating “optional” unions is a key strategy in how anti-labour movements weaken labour power by intentionally creating classes of workers and divisions.

Stef WalterYou Deserve a Tech Union not sure what to offer a friend working in Tech? I think @beep’s book would be great (especially with current end of the year layoffs and all)

Noxy 🐾🏳️🌈how would one go about unionizing when even just your direct teammates are all in different countries?
my understanding is that a union is defined as simply as "two or more workers taking action together to improve their working conditions", but does that hold up if me (USA) and, say, a Canadian teammate took a small collective action? I wonder if NLRB or labor protections would be like " nope fuck you" if nobody else involved is in the US, that's not protected concerted activity
