"Among Ferenstein’s findings: a minority, 29 percent, of tech company founders described labor unions as “good,” compared to 73 percent of Democrats."
Are these feelings shared by tech-sector workers at-large? Unions are responsible for so many improvements in workplace rights, and have traditionally been at the forefront of working and middle class struggles!
- benwerd 10y agoIt's incredibly depressing if true. The labor movement gave us weekends and the 8 hour day. While not every union is positive, unions as a concept are the natural counterbalance to business interests, protecting individual worker rights. I wonder, though, if it's simply a matter of modernization. What would a 21st century union look like? Are there examples to look to?
