one thing that i've been repeating for years now is that if you want tech to organize, unions need to sell themselves differently.

unions in the past are portrayed as remove physical dangers, limiting to reasonable hours and fair wages. but tech workers already have that stuff, so they don't see an upside.

codetermination (getting workers on the board), four day work weeks, full-time remote, sabbaticals, open source support, rethinking startup equity, ... there's all sorts of things we could be pushing for that would make our jobs better that we could to push for if we worked together.

great list. another thing to add, credentialing so we can stop the leetcode gating at the interview stage.
