📆 15 April 2025 – 11:00am EDT, 17:00 CEST, 8:00am PDT

We’ll have two onboarding calls for anyone who wants to learn more about the Tech Workers Coalition & what you can do to get more involved. This is a great chance to hear about our projects, meet some cool people, and get plugged in, whether you’re new or have been lurking, or simply want a refresher.

We will have two sessions (both the same content) on Tuesday, April 15th to make it easier for timezones. Register now at bit.ly/twc101-apr2025A or bit.ly/twc101-apr2025B for your respective slot.

Until it starts using its power to decide what technology and contracts are taken by the company. That's the endgame of the tech labor movement and the labor movement in a lot of industries that deal with ugly stuff.

Also there's no ethical production under capitalism.

By working for a company and thus make them dependent on your labor (to some degree) you have power. By not working for that company, you have no power.

Catholics believe in free will. You're free to struggle against challenges. God is not a puppeteer you have to obey to.

Life is a gift from God and should be preserved. Chasing death and risks has little to do with Christian values.

There are also people staying to try to unionize or sabotage the company. Don't bundle them with the scabs. Quitting won't change much within meta.

I organize tech workers. The expectation that they are going to fight an uphill battle inhibits a lot of them and often it's not the scenario they are faced with. Tech workers being skeptical of the possibility of unionizing their workplace is a mind virus that needs to be eradicated for anything to happen. If then they find hostility, there are endless means to win over their colleagues, but if you discourage them before even starting, nothing will ever change.

If people stopped repeating this stuff, it would help

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

It looks like cringe amateur stuff from the inside too, don't worry

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 months ago

yeah and it does harm. Any technology amputated a part of us. The point is deciding if it's worth the cost.

if you want to know more about TWC: https://techworkerscoalition.org/

[–] chobeat@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

No, it's global. There are two timeslots to better accommodate the broadest possible crowd. TWC is mostly active in the USA and Europe atm, because the Indian chapter basically merged with the local IT union and stopped operating as TWC.

The event is organized by the TWC Global chapter, which is the "digital" chapter that supports the local chapters throughout the world.

It's hand-written and it's a famous blog about techno-magic. Also it's very explicitly against new age, that's the whole point of the article.
