The Tech Workers Coalition is a labor rights group seeking to organize the tech industry. The group was founded between cafeteria worker and labor organizer Rachel Melendes and engineer Matt Schaefer. Their first meetings began in 2014 in its members' apartments. The group set out to create an alternative to the Californian Ideology that emphasized worker labor. The group's name emphasizes the ideas that white-collar employees are workers and that the lower-wage jobs created to support those white-collar jobs are part of the same industry. These ideas are in contrast to industry norms that ameliorate engineer working conditions, including food and perk luxuries on campus, horizontal reporting structures, and casual dress codes. Engineers at big tech companies are also often separated from the blue-collar independent contractors who provide the campus services. The group also responds to the disillusionment of workers who entered the industry to bring societal value through the Internet but instead found other company objectives to be paramount. In 2015, the Tech Workers Coalition focused its efforts on organizing Hyatt hotel workers in Santa Clara, California. More information...
