A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Man, Unions in America are anaemic. I REALLY wish our labor force would grow that kind of spine and stand up for each other that aggressively.
There is a push for American unions to set their next contract expiration dates to 1 May 2028, specifically to enable a general strike.
Important to note that this is a workaround. Solidarity strikes (which normally include general strikes) are illegal, but there's no law that prevents every union from happening to strike on their own behalf at the same time.
