A mighty win for Mitie workers 💪 Great stuff from all involved at our @utaw.tech branch! We love to see it.

2026 is going to be tough, stick together with your friends and comrades. Happy New Year.

Tech workers need unions too buff.ly/dgLeqyj With mass layoffs and poor working conditions becoming widespread across the sector, it’s time for techies to get organised @marisharay.bsky.social @thebristolcable.bsky.social @joshuareynoldssl6.bsky.social @utaw.tech @unitesharon.bsky.social @tuc.org.uk

Strategic layoffs have been obviously cynically motivated to us in the union movement (especially those that cite 'AI') for some time. Seems like Goldman Sachs is catching up. fortune.com/2025/12/25/g...

🗞️ News: @foxglovelegal.bsky.social has launched a new case against TikTok in the UK for union busting. Read more in Sky's coverage here: news.sky.com/story/tiktok... We proud to support TikTok workers, Julio & others, alongside @leigh-day.bsky.social and @utaw.tech union. Details below!

CWU members from our @utaw.tech branch take legal action against TikTok for union busting news.sky.com/story/tiktok...

CWU inspired policy has PASSED both Houses of Parliament. The Employment Rights Act 2025 - remember it because it'll change you and your comrades lives for the better in the next year or so.

The Chair of Parliament's Tech Committee questions TikTok's safety claims: "It's alarming that they aren't offering us transparency over this information. Without it, how can we have any confidence whether these changes will safeguard users?"

Hundreds of UK moderators have left TikTok - sparking safety fears, whistleblowers reveal news.sky.com/story/hundre...

🎙️ Now on Spotify! Catch up with last week's CWU Live. We had a great chat with our @utaw.tech tech workers branch about AI, automation, and what all the latest tech changes mean for workers. A really interesting listen, even if you’re not a tech worker. www.cwu.org/podcast/big-...

TikTok is getting rid of the London staff who keep you safe from harmful, misleading and illegal content. When did they announce the job cuts? Eight days before those employees were due to vote on unionising. We’ve signed an open letter with @tuc.org.uk and @cwunews.bsky.social:

we're reppin' AND greppin'! (there is something in there)

“AI isn’t magic; it’s a pyramid scheme of human labor,” said @adiod.bsky.social, a researcher at @dairinstitute.bsky.social. “These raters are the middle rung: invisible, essential and expendable.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Trying to grow the UK AI sector by building data centers is like trying to grow the university sector by building paper factories.

TikTok's biggest European market is the UK, something they were gleefully boasting to the press about early this summer but then as soon as a union recognition ballot is scheduled, suddenly it isn't that important and they want to offshore jobs somewhere with cheaper labour and weak unions.

Moderators face one of the most psychologically damaging jobs on the internet to keep the public safe, yet TikTok wants to offshore the roles, despite making BILLIONS. We rallied outside TikTok HQ to show that our @utaw.tech members aren’t going anywhere. www.youtube.com/shorts/oJl172PqRXI

Nik's thesis is fascinating - tech leaders don't lead, buying software as a means of putting the responsibility for their company's future on someone else's back, allowing them to do specious TED talks and as little work as possible. www.wheresyoured.at/the-remarkab...

Who lined up the speakers for the UN's AI For Good summit? Of all the actual experts and people who know about 'AI'', its impact now and potential, and you booked WILL I AM and CHERIE BLAIR???

Some billionaires getting very nervous as more and more of these studies start to get published www.reuters.com/business/ai-...

At the CWU we back Zarah, and she backs us. The Mail on Sunday can eat shit.

On this International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (#IDAHOBIT), join a union that will stand up for your rights.

One of our members has created some homemade merch. These jars will be stored in a dark place, as dark and cold as the supreme court's decision, only to be unleashed like a limited-edition drop. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #cooking

We stand with our trans comrades. #Trans #TransRights #Union

The AI jobs crisis is not the sudden displacement of millions of workers in one fell swoop—instead, it’s evident in the attrition in creative industries, the declining income of freelance artists, writers, and illustrators, and in corporations’ inclination to simply hire fewer human workers.

Happy May Day and International Workers' Day from our comrades in Cuba! 🇨🇺

sorry we've been quiet we've finally got the Skills Wallet integration into testing

If you didn't already know - 'here's why tech workers need unions too' today in the @thebristolcable.bsky.social thebristolcable.org/2025/04/here...

On a day so filled with insightful illustrations of history, today we highlight and celebrate Sojourner Truth. Happy International Women's day from your fave tech workers union.

Effectively repealing the Tories 2016 anti-union legislation is obviously welcome. Stopping 'flooding' of business units during recognition too. Lots to build on here, when it comes in to effect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If you work in infosec please look into joining @utaw.tech, get your colleagues to join too and ask your bosses what they're doing to tell the government we don't want to be put at increased risk for doing our jobs.

Reform and Farage work for their billionaire funders, not working people. Trade unions have a legacy of standing against the divisive rhetoric of the far right. We're going to be at this event in Birmingham, Friday March 28th. Org by @zarahsultana.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/events/no-th...

*checks union rule book* you're not wrong.

Wait a second, are you saying I've become a Metaverse developer FOR NOTHING? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Joining a union is probably the easiest and best thing you can do rn.
