I wonder if more and more of these ethical issues will be what pushes tech workers to unionise rather than working conditions.

    Thanks for the article, I’m not American nor do I live there so I’m not so well versed on US labour law and unions. From reading the article however it seems this issue was particular to rail union workers? > Unlike the National Labor Relations Act, he said, which leaves both labor and management with "economic weapons" they can threaten to use (strikes for unions, and lockouts for management), the Railway Labor Act has a provision allowing the government to block a strike from taking place.

      Unions aren't like in western Europe, for example, where they are more considered in the business. Just two years ago OSHA (worker safety regulator) crammed down a vaccinated-or-fired mandate to nearly all companies and unions didn't help much. The only safety is to financially be able to quit.
