🎒🎒Applications are now open for Logic School 2023 year 2! Logic School is an online, community run, experimental school for tech workers looking to remake tech from below. It's stewarded by participants from our first cohort @whyderrick @emilychaosays, with support from @xrw.

Great zine with practical tips for remote workplace organizing & helpful highlights of experiences from various tech worker-organizers who have been creatively leveraging remote tools to better build collective power!
How do we organize when everyone is working from home? How do we build relationships over zoom? And how can remote tools work to our advantage?
We asked remote-workplace organizers these questions and compiled the best practices into a zine. Check it out!

Amazing RPG game created and moderated by @tech_actions @FAccTConference — the workers won !!! but everyone in the company was fired. So who won really? The takeaway is that if there had been a seat at the table for workers, a different outcome would have been achieved.
AI ethics workers role playing mgmt at #FAccT2022 voted to fire the max amount of workers to quell organizing. The workers still won. 💪

Absolutely the best session I attended @FAccTConference by presented by @megyoung0 😤 this is my third time attending FAccT and I am so thankful that this paper elucidates some of the biggest reoccurring concerns and highlighting changes/call to action (s/o @tech_actions)!! – at Songpa-gu, Republic of Korea
ABSOLUTELY MUST READ for the whole #FAccT2022 community: "Confronting Power and Corporate Capture at the FAccT
Conference"

After 2+ years of bargaining remotely with Kickstarter senior leadership, we’re proud to announce alongside them that we’ve reached a tentative agreement for a contract that embodies the values of our union and the work that we do.

WE DID IT: with a landslide margin of 1785–912, we are officially the MITGSU-UE!!!
What started 4 years ago with a dozen students in an MIT classroom discussing the needs of graduate workers has culminated in this historic victory for student-workers at MIT. Now, we celebrate!

Today we are proud to stand together and ask @navapbc leadership for voluntary recognition of our union. As a union we will build a stronger, more sustainable organization for our staff, our clients, and—most importantly—the people we serve.
ALT Text of voluntary recognition letter, with logo at the top: Dear Rohan Bhobe, This is a pivotal moment for Nava. We are excited to notify you that a supermajority of eligible employees have joined together to form Nava United, a union affiliated with the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) Tech Workers Union Local 1010. We are writing to request voluntary recognition of our union, and we authorize OPEIU Local 1010 to represent us for collective bargaining. In the event you do not proceed with the voluntary recognition process, we will ask the National Labor Relations Board to hold an election. We believe that forming our union will promote transparency, ensure equity, increase staff well-being and retention, attract new talent, and add to the long list of reasons why we are proud to work at Nava. As a union, we will build a stronger, more sustainable organization for our staff, our clients, and—most importantly—the people we serve (See website for the rest)

We've reached a tentative agreement prohibiting the use of #bossware for evaluating our job performance or monitoring worker organizing! We're going to be evaluated by the software we ship, not the time we spend typing.
Let's make this a @CODE_CWA union standard.
Beware of "bossware." Surveillance has been inching into our workplaces and jobs for years, and it’s getting a push forward by the coronavirus pandemic. (@whyy) trib.al/BBQtiJ3

Google Data Center workers successfully won hazard pay following collective action✊
Over 100 workers at Modis, a Google subcontractor, organized last week to demand that the corporation pay workers the hazard pay they were promised.
And they won!🧵
