If you work in tech in the UK, join a union. Even if your employer is great now, things can change. The current general obsession with AI is a good reason to be aware of all of your rights. Even as a lone member in a company you have access to valuable advice and support. 🀞 You may never need it, in which case your membership helps those that do. UTAW are a bit more political / campaigining: https://utaw.tech/ Prospect a bit less: https://prospect.org.uk/tech-workers/ #union

Join your place of work's union.

You don't know when you'll need it.

I don’t publish on Amazon. I don’t buy from Amazon. I refuse to support Bezos in any way whatsoever. This is obviously not going to upset him in the slightest, but that man is literally the modern-day embodiment of Roman emperor Caligula and his ilk. The work policies for Amazon warehouse staff are impossibly cruel and have massive negative impacts on employee’s physical and mental health. He doesn’t give a fuck. Just pays people as little as possible, uses them up, then tosses them on the scrapheap – there’s plenty more where they came from in his mind. I hate that he silences people by blocking all workers' attempts to unionise, preventing them from fighting for fair pay and working conditions so that he can live his life of debauchery with his multi-million-dollar weddings and foam parties on luxury yachts.

If you underpay your employees, you can't act as if the job is so important that people need to be sober to do it. #workersrights #labour #union #unionise #LegaliseIt #anticapitalism #EatTheRich #FeedThePoor

#California Governor #GavinNewsom signed a measure allowing over 800,000 #ridehailing drivers to #unionise and negotiate for better wages and benefits. This law, a compromise between #labourunions and #techcompanies, permits drivers to unionise while remaining independent contractors. It also reduces #insurance requirements for accidents caused by uninsured drivers. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/03/california-ride-hailing-drivers-union?eicker.news #tech #media #news
