For this episode I spoke to Simone Robutti. Simone works as an organization designer, adversarial researcher, and teacher. Formerly a software developer, he has been part of different chapters of Tech Workers Coalition since 2018.

During the interview we discussed how to start a labor union at your tech company, innovative ways to go on strike, and how tech ideology as psyoped you to thinking labor struggle can't work in tech. We also touched on how technical tools for assisting workers should be used and the role of tech sovereignty in these situations.

You can also find the interview in video form on YouTube here.
