As a tech worker, I'm super happy they're being compensated so well. We're witnessing the power of workers organizing and I'm loving it. I would like to see unions in tech become a thing, but it's impossible to organize anything with the people here and talking about it openly will get you fired for "completely unrelated" reasons.

Hey, I’m a union organizer at a tech company! Union support is more likely than you think in the industry. It’s all about a strong OC forming connections with your coworkers. If you want to be the change, reach out to CODE-CWA!

I think there is real pressure to divide different workers. This article is just one I’ve been seeing that had this narrative. And no tech worker I know is angry.

It’s okay to be angry when it’s directed the right way. It’s not the driver’s with whom anyone should be upset; it’s the executives refusing to provide fair compensation that we should all be angry at.

The only thing I’m really afraid of is that with organization, they’d learn how little work I actually do.
