As a tech worker I appreciate your firm pro-worker stance, but what if we don't support the current system of having your health care be tied to your job, and letting your employer dictate your allotted vacation time and holidays, while allowing them to ask for unlimited legal unpaid overtime?
- Ancalagon 9y agoJoin unions and be active in government. That's really as simple as I can put it. I don't have an answer to how best to get others to do those things, especially with the general apathy I feel in my generation for anything government-related. But those are the solutions.
- tboyd47 9y agoIs there a programmer's union? If not, would it be worth it to start one? Honestly, it's something I've been thinking about for some time now. I have a lot of family and friends from NYC who have expressed both pros and cons to me about unions. I have no experience with it but I'm becoming more and more interested as I become aware of industry-wide problems.
