Will it be used to find union organizers? Walmart and Starbucks have been in the news for suppressing labor organization.

The games industry meanwhile is going through massive layoffs and demonstrating the need for union power.

I’d bet serious money on yes. Amazon and Starbucks are incredibly anti-union. Unions scare them—unions mean shareholders and execs would be forced to share more profits with their workers. (The horror!)

Just one example: Even though workers have won unions at Amazon and Starbucks shops, the companies are plain refusing to negotiate contracts with them as is right.

I guarantee it. My first impression when seeing this list of companies is that is likely the primary purpose.
