Asserting that “A Healthy Work-Life Balance is Every Employee’s Right,” almost 700 tech workers protested in India’s IT hub Bangalore on March 9, demanding enforcement of labor laws, regulation of work hours and codification of “Right to Disconnect”.
Fantastic to see workers sticking up for themselves on the other side of the world. An international labour movement is possible and would be a huge force for good in the world.
Good hopefully they can establish a place for themselves so that their labor can’t be taken advantage of by American companies as well and that forces American companies to actually relent on punishing American tech workers and trying to force down their wages.
Yea, this is awesome for all of us. Fuck corporate overlords.
They are the backbone of most corporate IT departments. If they all went on strike they’d get what they wanted. Corporations would never pay US salaries to fill all their positions.
ever since the massive layoffs of tech started in 2023, yea thats the sign.
Hence the enshittification of many tech implementation of major corps
It’s India. For every protestor, there’s 5 people applying for his job already.
