So how do I, a tech worker not at any of these institutions, support the general movement toward unionization? Due to me being outspoken in general, I can't really vocally support unions in a way that companies might notice (cause they wouldn't hesitate to fire me for some other reason). But I can send money or do other things. I just need to know whatever organization I am supporting is a real deal. Not just another power monger looking for a way to gain influence.
Union Now is worth supporting
At a minimum, speak positively of unions to those around you and, if possible, educate those that don't know. So many people think unions are a bad thing from the historical propaganda.
Sneak a few fliers up around the office? Careful how you print them though, cause they'll probably print with tiny yellow fingerprints hiding highly identifying information
Wouldn't you need to be law enforcement to even begin to follow that paper trail?
You think law enforcement wouldn't run a few fliers as a favor to their buddies among our corporate overlords?
I'm not saying it's a given, but it's enough of a possibility that I'd still be careful.
Depends on the company probably. Manybe a Fortune 500 or a town in a deep red state where your boss literally knows the sheriff.
