A Major #UnionBusting Tactic Was Just Banned in #NewYork in 'Major Victory'
“Captive audience meetings” are no longer captive after a new #labor law bans employers from disciplining workers who don't attend. https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7zn8e/a-major-union-busting-tactic-was-just-banned-in-new-york #union #unionizing

Amazon’s #nonunionized #workforce is an existential threat to the Teamsters—but signs of Amazon #workers #unionizing with the #IBT could change the game.

#meta, #bytedance, and #openai (#facebook, #tiktok, and #chatgpt) have been #paying #workers in #africa $1.50 an hour to moderate their #ai. those workers are now #unionizing, which has gotten a lot of press. however the really important part will come when those workers begin #negotiations. keep an eye out in the future for any #support they may need. this is going to be a big fucking #battle against these massive, super protected entities just to not be #paid #starving #wages

#Sega of America Is #Unionizing
144 workers at Sega of America chose to unionize in a majority vote, and are now asking for voluntary recognition from the company. #Unions are gradually beginning to catch on in the games industry, and this move follows similar efforts from #Blizzard and #Zenimax employees. The studio behind #SonicTheHedgehog is asking for higher pay, stable benefits, and better work-life balance.

"Honestly, if #CG #artists #unionising kills the use of CG in #films, I don't see a downside.
This post has riled a lot of #people. For what it's worth, my point wasn't that #technology is bad and Edison was a witch, my point was that any #industry that can be killed by #unionizing should be.
Any industry that can't survive #unionization relies on #exploiting its #workers' #labor and should be killed immediately anyway"
