I could use some help. I find my company making more and more changes that have a negative impact on the wellbeing of the tech workers such as myself.

The company has a union but it’s not for the corporate workers. I would like to start a union for us techies. How can I achieve this? I’ve spoken with people I’m comfortable with about unionizing and have received favorable feedback. Who can I reach out to?

      Thank you, after being laughed at while trying to ask about some new unfavorable policies, I’ve moved forward with reaching out to IWW.

      If management thinks it’s a joke, I think it’s time to show them we’re serious.

        Tech workers need a union so bad. It needs to change. I got an 18% raise and still I’m underpaid by at least 20% not too long ago, I was eligible to use the local food pantry. FML
