yep, it’s one of the new chapters and it’s pretty active and growing fast. You should join.

you can volunteer in some alt-albor organization that supports unions externally, like Tech Workers Coalition: https://techworkerscoalition.org/

you can unionize with the rest of the workers. They are called “wall to wall unions” when you do not organize by department/profession but by company. In some countries they are the norm.

that’s why you do union organizing with organizers and not with edgy teenagers.

both coops and unionized companies operate within a capitalist structure and on the market (usually). Neither model can emancipate itself from its context. So I’m not sure about what aspect you expect to be different. And coops can be run with good governance where power structures are explicit, managed and democratically altered to reflect the values of the members. The case where you have few people controlling everything is a dysfunction, it’s not part of the model (and also can happen with unions).

are you thinking of a cooperative?

It’s a spin-off of TWC, now independent, focused on layoff support and advocacy: https://wwwrise.org/

Join Tech Workers Coalition, What We Will or any other tech alt-labor organization in your area. There are plenty of tech workers talking about unions.

why do you assume this event is for profit?

First time I’ve seen Americans (Texans) at a buffet in a resort in Cancun. The way and the amount they were eating was scary as fuck

Nah, he might just have good skin microbiome.

I wouldn’t say terrified, but if the idea of having sex with somebody you like solicits such disgust and makes use terms like “tolerable” or “vomit inducing”, there’s definitely some issue with intimacy. It might also be lack of direct experience.

This has nothing to do with personal consumption. Consumer politics are not going to do anything about AI

join tech workers coalition or no tech for apartheid. There’s a lot of behind the scene work they do at a global level that doesn’t require any exposure

well, from where else should come the power to interject with the company’s plans if not from forming unions? Like what does it mean to hold a company accountable if you have no leverage? Quitting and making a post on social media about it?

Good, even though the union strategy of getting a slice of the cake while enabling processes that will screw over workers everywhere else can be debated.

The author is Italian teaching in Canada. While it’s true that in the USA democratic structures in the workplace are less common than elsewhere, I think the author is presenting the phenomenon in a rethorical fashion to motivate workers to fight the new forms of Authorian control in the workplace.
