  As soon as I see a TechCrunch article written by Megan Rose Dickey I immediately close the browser tab. How she still has a job is beyond me. Her TC posts are always SJW posts, with her narrative bordering on racists and sexists against white males. I know you'll think I am being tongue and cheek, but read the following post of hers and make your own judgment[1].

  It's hard for me (especially having never worked at google or followed the story closely) to judge on the merits here, but I'm curious on the broader subject. It seems many tech workers have strong opinions about politics or how work should be organized or what kinds of work their companies should take on. These concerns appear to be similar to the drivers around the unionization movement a century or so ago, why not have unions in tech? Maybe it would be structured a little differently than traditional unions, or maybe not. But it may be better than the scattershot protesting at one company, then another and total silence at yet another. It doesn't seem like there's a great vehicle for the tech community to speak with one voice in a publicly facing way.
