Tech workers deserve unions and these tech workers won big! Congratulations to hundreds of NYT Tech Guild members on your fight and victory 🏆
The tech workers of @nytimes have spoken, and the results are in: We won our election 404-88! #TechGuildYes @nyguild @newsguild @CODE_CWA
🖥 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.
Janneke Parrish has filed an unfair labor practice charge against Apple regarding the company's Slack rules, which she says "gives the appearance of surveillance of employees' protected speech activities"
Here they go! Tech workers are more powerful together! x.com/NYTGuildTech/s…
Happy Ballot Day! Ballots go in the mail from the @NLRB to our unit members today. Over the next few weeks, we will have the opportunity to raise our voices and vote to join @nyguild 🗳️. We are ready to vote. We are ready to win. Let's do this!
Tech workers at the NYT are getting their union vote later this month! Time to keep building tech worker power so we can have a say in our industries! 📰📬🗳
Scoop: Around 566 New York Times tech workers will get a unionization vote starting this month, an NLRB regional director ruled, despite the company's efforts to shrink the bargaining unit bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @NYTGuildTech @nyguild @CWAUnion
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!
🧵Under the National Labor Relations Act, employees have a right to form, join, or assist unions. Employees form unions in a few different ways⬇️
“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 🎮🛠🏆
Scoop: Google Fiber retail workers in Kansas City with @AlphabetWorkers are petitioning the US labor board to hold a unionization vote and deem Alphabet a"joint employer," aiming to force Alphabet itself to collectively bargain for the first time in the US bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"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.
OSHA says the serious accident rate at Amazon warehouses in the US is nearly 2X the rate at non-Amazon warehouses AND higher than construction & coal mining A tornado hit an Amazon warehouse in Illinois, killing 6. A union might have made a big difference thenation.com/article/societ…
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.
OSHA says the serious accident rate at Amazon warehouses in the US is nearly 2X the rate at non-Amazon warehouses AND higher than construction & coal mining A tornado hit an Amazon warehouse in Illinois, killing 6. A union might have made a big difference thenation.com/article/societ…

Report: Temp workers struggle in a 'two-tiered workforce with a permanent underclass' ...more work needs to be done for all temporary workers in the industry, said @bengwin4 Gwin, an HCL worker who co-authored the report usatoday.com/story/tech/202…

🎉Congratulations to @HCLtechUnion workers who voted overwhelmingly to ratify their first contract yesterday! "Now, with a strong union and contract in place, we're confident that our voices will be heard." #1U #FTW @steelworkers prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
The tentative agreement between @hcltechUnion and @hcltech includes meaningful wage increases, job security language, and additional time off. @PGHTechUnion #1u theverge.com/2021/7/23/2259…
@HCLtechUnion has a tentative agreement on a contract! "In spite of the company's best efforts to discourage participating in the union and to avoid negotiating in good faith, we remained united to make our voices heard..." prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
