I'm an infrastructure engineer working at a government contractor and I'm in a union with OPEIU 1010, the tech workers' local. Others are unionizing independently, with CWA, etc.. It's still early days for the tech industry but there are examples. We're really not that different from other industries with a larger union presence.
Good job! I've been a member of Nava United since before we were recognized, and we just ratified our first contract. Stand strong in bargaining! Hope I meet some members of your union at Labor Notes in April!
I just got an onhub router working again thanks to openwrt. Many blessings upon them!
Yes use Firefox but ugh Mozilla wyd https://lunduke.locals.com/post/5053290/mozilla-2023-annual-report-ceo-pay-skyrockets-while-firefox-marketshare-nosedives
Yes likely due to the upgrade to 0.19 https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/7339022
I should add that Kickstarter United was really the trailblazer, though they affiliated with local 153 for their first contract because the idea for local 1010 hadn't really hatched yet. The rest of us in this burgeoning movement of tech workers within OPEIU will be unaffiliated until the local is chartered.
Hey Jacky! Awesome work by you and all of CfAWU in getting this agreement across the finish line! I have to mention that this is also a historic milestone as the first official contract for the tech workers local, OPEIU 1010. With a bit of effort, my union, Nava United, will join you soon with the second contract!
Coming up this weekend! https://labornotes.org/techcon2023
It's just our legislators helping to kick off Striketober! But seriously this is a terrible pain in the ass for anyone who actually depends on government services (which on some level is pretty much all of us).

I just noticed when I go to hexbear communities on lemmy.sdf.org that most of the posts are missing. Is this some federation decision I missed or a technical issue?
My mom likes to play No Man's Sky and Valheim, but her Asus TUF started freezing on games. RMA found no problems and sent it back to her but it still happens. I ordered a Legion for her but now I see these posts about all Nvidia 40-series laptops freezing up. What's a gaming mom supposed to do?
