No offense, but it seems like a really dumb idea to unionize in the middle of mass industry layoffs.
Maybe you would do it when things are going good, but if everyone around you is getting laid off and you unionize, it almost seems self-evident who's going to get laid off next.
Is it illegal? Probably. Are they going to get away with it? Probably.
Everyone should remember that big tech companies aren't your friend.
When working conditions are getting worse and people are being fired, that’s when you need a union more than ever.
It didnt work though
These things are measured in decades.
Imagine where they'll be 5 years later if they do nothing
