The introduction of #AI into the workplace should be negotiated. Period.

The @cfdt.fr has put together information to help trade unionists take action.

What resources have you found helpful to tackle AI in the world of work?

Essee | Suomessa on jälleen sotahulluuden aika – Samalla Lammioita on koko ajan enemmän Tuntemattoman sotilaan hahmoista Suomessa ihaillaan sukupolvesta toiseen Rokkaa, Hietasta ja Koskelaa, mutta samalla Lammioita on koko ajan enemmän, kirjoittaa Janne Saarikivi.

Oiva teksti:

”Lammion sanoma on aina sama: isänmaa on vaarassa, riviin siitä. Rivissä riittää silti klappia. Kesämökkikaupat, konferenssit, muistuttaminen kansainvälisistä ihmisoikeusvelvoitteista – ne ovat Moskovan pillin mukaan tanssimista.”

Organizing for Freedom Organising Tech in Sweden · Episode

A really interesting discussion with Björn Larm, the organizing motor behind the tech unionizing surge from Unionen.

Did you know that well over 10% of the labor workforce in Sweden are members of Unionen? Quite a success story. And they keep on growing!

Organized Labor Is Key to Governing Big Tech Congress can’t keep up with Silicon Valley—but unionized tech workers can.

This is highly interesting for anyone working with tech and unionizing. Although the text is U.S. focused, the implications of what unionized tech workers can achieve go well beyond USA. A very well composed article of what is to come when tech workers organize
