Tech workers deserve unions and these tech workers won big! Congratulations to hundreds of NYT Tech Guild members on your fight and victory 🏆

🖥 It's illegal for employers to stop us from talking about our pay with our co-workers. Salary transparency can be a step towards building tech worker power -- and towards meaningful tech salary equity. ⚖ 💰 Do you know how much your co-workers make?
We organize for change, and we also organize to secure what we have now. To keep our vacation days and health insurance, to guarantee annual raises. Job perks & free lunches are not a replacement for a collective voice. Perks are a reason to unionize -- so we can keep them! 🍕🍻
All employees have the right to protected speech about our pay, benefits, and working conditions. Federal labor law can protect us from policies like the egregious one at @Apple -- and a strong tech workers union and a union contract can help us enforce these legal rights.

Google “cannot spin the mere fact of a nascent organizing effort among employees into ‘litigation’—like straw spun into gold—that entitles it to cloak in privilege every aspect of its antiunion campaign,” NLRB judge Paul Bogas wrote in a public ruling. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…
A thoughtful, distressing report by @EconomicPolicy on @hcltech's profit model. "Large-scale illegal underpayment of H-1B workers is a core part of the firm’s competitive strategy," per @RonHira & @costadaniel epi.org/publication/ne…
Good morning! The National Labor Relations Board is out here telling us our federally protected rights!

“We want to feel like we have a voice and some kind of say in our working conditions, and feel like we matter a little bit more. We kind of feel like once we’re contracted out, Alphabet just forgot about us.” Tech workers in Kansas City are petitioning for a union vote 🎮🛠🏆

"Unions educate workers about workplace hazards & protect members from retaliation if they speak up about dangerous conditions. But Amazon has gone to extreme lengths to keep unions out." From the front end to the warehouse, we tech workers need protections. It's life or death.

Salary equity. Financial transparency. Keeping employers from contracting out and outsourcing our work. Diverse and inclusive hiring and retention practices. Mental health resources. A voice in tech's social impact. We want real power, not just free lunch.
