Tech workers urged to unionise before crisis hits
Original: The best time to form a union is 10 years before you actually need it. The second best time is now. # Programming # Tech
A comment circulating in programming and tech circles argues that software workers should organise unions well before they need one, ideally a decade in advance, and that the next best moment to start is now. The message ties unionisation to current industry anxieties around AI and large language models, suggesting workplace insecurity is prompting developers to reconsider collective organising.
Why now: Growing anxiety in the tech sector about AI and job security is driving renewed interest in unionisation.
