At my work just all me and my fellow techs in a meeting we basically expressed shared frustration at wages not increasing at all in last couple years despite the company making billions.
It appears we were all individually expressing this and it boiled over cause nothing was being done.
So are there any organizations collecting signatures or potential members with the goal of forming one later?
The idea of a union sounds good but if they have anything to do with Communication Workers of America I’d vote against it. I saw so much sketchy stuff from them when I worked in a call center. A non-affiliated IT union would be better.
It doesn’t have to be officially associated with them. The important thing is resources about unionizing and building solidarity with coworkers.
I’ve asked the same thing to my organizer and it was basically telecom is the closest to it under the AFL-CIO umbrella, and i believe he said they may end up getting an IT specific union once enough get unionized.
