It is that time of year, so I thought I’d mention that my book YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION is very much a thing you can buy for any tech workers in your life. Or yourself!
You can buy it just about anywhere books are sold, or ask your library to grab a copy! https://ethanmarcotte.com/books/you-deserve-a-tech-union/
🗓️ On October 16 at 6pm ET, I’ll be giving a (virtual!) talk on tech unions, and why I think you deserve one! It’ll be a grand old time — I hope you can join us.

Here’s a bit more on the redesign of YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION: how it started, how it came together, and the typefaces that made it all possible. https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/you-deserve-a-new-book-design/

I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.
Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:

Since todaybor day is Labor Day, I spent a few minutes freshening up the page for YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION. Nothing fancy, but I added some more options for buying the paperback, added *long*-overdue links for the ebook, and cleaned up some tiny design things that’d been bugging me.
Today makes one year since YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION came out. https://ethanmarcotte.com/books/you-deserve-a-tech-union/
It’s been a wonderful, bumpy, often challenging ride, but I’m still so proud of that little book, and I’m so damned glad it’s out in the world.
(And I’m excited about what might be coming next for it.)

BABY’S FIRST RADIO INTERVIEW! I had a wonderful time on KKFI’s Heartland Labor Forum, getting interviewed about tech unions, who gets to be a “tech worker,” and — you guessed it — YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION:

Last year, I wrote a book called YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION; several months later, my publisher decided to close its doors.
This is a post about what happens next: https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/reacquired/
Heading home early from Labor Notes. Thanks to the organizers and speakers for a remarkable weekend, and thanks to everyone I met for the conversations. (And if you picked up a copy of YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, thank you for that too.)
Head’s full, heart’s on fire. Can’t wait for the next LN 💖
Per https://twitter.com/lessin/status/1776761662785155336, I just wanna quietly note that if you’re a tech worker at a company where this gentleman sits on the board, I’d be happy to send you a copy of YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION. Drop me a line.
Non-tenure track Harvard faculty just voted to organize under the United Auto Workers... if this were a private company the correct response would be to eliminate all non-tenure faculty positions immediately. back in reality that won't happen and this does not bode well.
