Exactly. Like IG Metal instead of AFL-CIO. Organized labor pushback is the only way to get fair pay, benefits and conditions. Furthermore, workers need to be members on the Board of Directors, as in most advanced economies.

The universal problem might be most tech workers stereotypically can't see the "big picture" of the value/power of solidarity, especially when many assume they're being well-compensated, when if fact they're being cheated along with everyone else except the owners and the extremely rich. Most people will normalize and accept their current situation, including slavery, and keep doing the same thing while believing nothing can be done about it (learned helplessness).
