Unions Can Save Tech Workers and Tech Work

Over 2,100 information technology employees at the University of California voted to join a union in May, marking the largest unionization effort of tech workers in U.S. labor history. The unionization reflects growing worker concerns about job security and AI-driven layoffs, as well as a desire to shape technology development toward social benefit rather than corporate profit. The successful campaign demonstrates that traditional union organizing methods remain effective even in the tech industry.
