  • Microsoft workers in Czechia win first collective agreement

  • it's not the USA. You can't just do that. There are workers' protections against stuff like this.

  • Why Is Everyone In Tech So Sad?

    Jump

  • it's a bit different: usually founders are in as much bullshit constraint as the workers. The power is all in the investors and the founders are just the boss clowns. The vast majority of them will fail, by design, leaving them burned out. They are not in the same position of workers materially, but psychologically they are not that far from a worker that wholeheartedly embraces the company mission and burns out because of the circus.

  • It's a tech company not recognizing a union of tech workers, a dynamic which will impact the development of several pieces of critical software. I would say it belongs.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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?

  • 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.
