   It answers a lot of the questions I see being asked in this thread.

   Gonna recommend folks read https://aworkinglibrary.com/reading/you-deserve-a-tech-union

   Very much believe that unions, and power to the workers, are very important!

   As with every time when scandals in tech land break:

   "You Deserve a Tech Union" https://abookapart.com/products/you-deserve-a-tech-union

   Put in the work, organize, unionize. The alternative is sisyphusian repetition of the same situations.

   There are some tech worker unions (like at NYT) but not enough.

   A relevant book that recently came out but I have not read is You Deserve a Tech Union by Ethan Marcotte
