Do you mind elaborating on "organizing" a bit? I work in software dev and feel like this whole industry is being run by Unity CEOs, so it's possible I'll end up in a similar position to this employee. Are we talking unionizing engineers, etc?
Depends on the internals but generally speaking anyone this mad could/should get themselves involved with an org that's got experience unionising and work with them. There are a lot of different strategies emerging for tech teams now but they all depend on the internals at the company. Salts within the support and QA teams have worked well though and there is knock-on influence within companies (particularly in tech) when these teams seek unionisation because there's usually a tonne of social crossover between them and the other departments. In videogames in particular it's actually so exploitative that I've seen people at the entry-level living 5 or 6 to a house all working the same company.
The main thing here is to get in touch with an org that's had success in the specific industry you're in and get help.
Thank you!
