Unionizing High Tech: Opportunities and Obstacles
本文记录了科技行业工人主导的集体行动兴起,区分了企业社会责任和就业权利两类诉求,并分析了风险资本模式对传统工会组织的挑战。

We distinguish two types of activism emerging from tech professionals—demands for greater corporate social responsibility and demands for improved employment rights—and consider the opportunities each affords the larger labor movement. In the second section, we consider how the venture-capital funding model that structures the tech industry presents unique challenges to traditional union-organizing campaigns.
