Collective Action and Workplace Organizing in Big Tech

For most people, we accept a lot of authoritarianism where we spend a lot of time: the workplace. The tech industry -- once a bastion of quality good jobs -- is changing before our eyes in a direction where the once vaunted benefits tech workers receive are retrenching that is now rife with unfair treatment and job insecurity. Furthermore, the industry is captured by oligarchs who are embracing anti-democratic ideologies and deploying technologies to serve those ends. How can we make technologies work for all? One means is for workers to leverage their collective strength to push tech companies in the right direction and to democratize the workplace. Learn from tech workers who have organized their coworkers to take collective action in the workplace from signing petitions, to unionizing and even striking as a means to regulate tech to promote a more just economy.
