Thanks for the recommendation. I am heartened by recent pushes towards unions. In particular, tech workers are beginning to understand that they are workers (as opposed to the narrative that tech workers exist at a level above the kind of people who need unions).
I haven't heard of the IWW, but the website for the UK branch has the headline "Bigoted bourgeoisie courts never cared about workers, whether cis or trans" (regarding a recent UK supreme court ruling). I haven't read the article, but that headline has given me a strong first impression of these guys. They seem pretty based
I've been excited at that development as well. It's honestly a bit baffling it took them so long, especially game developers, where extreme crunch time and post release seasonal layoffs are the norm.
The IWW is the only union that leans heavily anarchist, with a rich history going back to 1905. :)
