Unionize!

My union doesn't do collective bargaining negotiations.. I'm a tech worker...

It covers me legally should employers take too much of an interest in my personal life, etc...

They also run a news paper about engineering topics..

Unfortunately, "union" is a basically a four-letter word where I am.

Also, not trying to overstate my "struggle" or anything -- the reason I'm active politically is because of the impact on people I care about, not the impact on me. I'm fully aware I'm pretty damn privileged to be able to write what I wrote above.
