A labor union that protects you when you refuse to implement things that should not be implemented?
IMHO it is a difficult thing to manage and integrate into the tech culture.
Leaks? Maybe, we're seeing them.
- anigbrowl 9y agoIt suits the management class very well to minimize the formation of organizational structures among technologists. While I'm not a big fan of unions or guilds - insofar as they rely on internal hierarchies that just reproduce existing and faulty control structures - those who resist or deny the possibility of organization among technologists are not necessarily disinterested in the outcome.
