Union activity in the tech realm continues to intensify. At the beginning of the year, we told you about the aggressive union tactics (including those from the CODE-CWA initiative to recruit tech employees of all stripes) targeting video game developers.
The subject continues to be messy with NLRB complaints adding chaos. This resulted in Nintendo of America and a staffing agency settling (for $25,000) with a contracted Quality Assurance worker, who alleged that she was fired for broaching the topic of unionization during a company meeting and tweeting about the subject.
On another tech-involved note, the Alphabet Workers Union alleges that two Google contract workers were fired for voicing union support and publicly discussing benefits.
