TechUnionization is a space for tech workers to organize against corporate greed, unethical AI deployment, and the industry’s growing role in climate destruction, war, and surveillance. With mass layoffs, worker exploitation, and the rise of techno-fascism, it’s more important than ever to push for ethical workplaces, AI safety, job security, and corporate accountability. Join us in demanding a future where our labor benefits workers and society—not just the wealthy.

Get involved with CODE-CWA to help build worker power in tech.

Just to be clear, this is NOT a Marxist, Anarchist, Liberal, or Conservative community. This is a WORKERS community, acting in workers self interest. All are welcome.

Purely political posts must be motivated by inspiring tech unionization.

Of course, hate politics will not be tolerated. Immigrants are workers. Women are workers. The disabled are workers. LGBT are workers. They are all your allies.

I believe AI is the road to a greater utopia. But that on the way it’s much more likely to create a dystopia of surveillance, unemployment, class struggle, etc. I believe that tech workers are the only people who can decide which route this technology takes, by saying no to employers who push for unethical practices or who fail to engage in AI safety. In order to do that, we need powerful unions, not just of AI workers but tech workers in general. Tech is such an impactful industry, it’s essential that workers regulate it rather than billionaires. We can see how tech has cozy’d up to the Trump administration. We all experience frequent mergers and layoffs. We all know everything we do is being logged by surveillance systems produced by the tech industry. And we all know that our high salaries and benefits will not last long if AI begins writing the majority of code. Push for human in the loop systems that protect our jobs, that move us into AI safety, and that give us a political say in our bosses greed.

Don’t let the AI of it all fool you — tech workers can still bring Silicon Valley to a halt.
