as i have said before, if you are in #tech you mostly likely were in work environment that looked down on other workers & rejected #labor #unions as unnecessary because, well you don't need them because you make the most money as a worker.
but guess what: you're still a worker. you're still from the working class.
we need y'all high-earners organizing and demanding your #unemployment benefits.
THIS IS POLITICAL PRAXIS. students in campuses are in tents, you're at the unemployment office 🧵
GENTLE REMINDER TO ALL #TECH WORKERS
before you go hustling for new work on these internets and fediverses, if you were laid off, HEAD TO THE CLOSEST #LABOR DEPARTMENT OFFICE AND DEMAND YOUR #UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
you pay for #unemployment #benefits with each paycheck. DEMAND THAT MONEY.
here's a thread about what to do & what happens when you don't demand all your accumulated money & benefits.

REMINDER FOR LAID-OFF & UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS there is no shame in using all the social services you have paid with your taxes, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A WHITE, MID/HIGH INCOME EARNER.Mastodon
Workers at a Volkswagen factory in Tennessee voted solidly to unionize with the UAW, after twice in the past voting down the #union.
This time, they may have noticed that union workers won higher pay and better benefits from US automakers in their strike last year.

They have been placed on administrative leave (an illegal retaliatory action) and have been told that they are subject to arrest at 1730 PT (about 45 minutes from now). This is how #Google treats peaceful protest against their unconscionable support of the #GazaGenocide

Travel nurses don’t just do it for the money (although their pay is 35% higher than the median RN).
They welcome the increased autonomy, freedom to explore new cities, learning how other hospitals do things and in general breaking out of a rut.
What more could you ask for?
Many travel nurses opt for temporary assignments because of the autonomy and opportunities − not just the big boost in pay
A new study found that temporary assignments in new places reignited nurses’ passion to help others and helped them rediscover the meaningfulness of their work.The Conversation
This take from @pluralistic deserves more play.
TL;DR: #Copyright is not a fix for your #AI fears. Bullies want you to think they're on your side, but it's a trap. Bosses blame immigrants for low wages, while they actually take workers' wages. Corporations claim to protect creative workers from AI companies, but they exploit them just as much. It's a ploy to gain control and exploit workers, while deflecting blame onto others.
