| There's just one solution: unionize. As you can see, your bosses already did. |

| Unionization will never work, since immigrants would want protections no union would provide. |

| ▲ | int_19h 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Speaking as an immigrant who is now a US citizen, I don't think this is particularly relevant. As far as immigration support from companies goes, Big Tech already offers it, so the real beef is with the federal government - and a trade or company union is hardly the best venue to have that fight. I would first and foremost want a union that protects my interests as a worker against my employer's encroachment, and it was no different when I wasn't a citizen yet. | | |
| ▲ | thedevilslawyer 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Congrats. But the top priority for a non-citizen immigrant would be protection, above employer encroachment. Notice how this played out when twitter fired 85%, and who stayed back. Unions being political players will have to take a side - and in the current climate this makes unions a non starter, since majority can never align. |
