  1. I just learned that the #UTAW trade union supports voting reform to another non-preferential voting system, rather than #STV which is both preferential and proportional. They want more second guessing, and less power for voters.

    I'd been considering resigning my membership for a while, but this might be the final straw.

  6. I just filled in @utaw survey on #AI in the workplace and public sector: cwu.org/survey-understanding-a

    Weirdly no questions about the environmental impacts, racism or other concerns, just an overall "how do you feel about this?"

  11. I am now a member of the #UTAW branch of the #CWU union. Figured I'd join to see what all the fuss is about, and see if other people are interested in campaigning around the planet killing cognitohazard #LLM technologies, and Covid safety with return-to-office mandates.

  25. I was given a sticker for #UTAW the tech union at #EMFCamp. Recently I've been checking them out with an eye to joining.

    However, their current campaigns are about Palestine (fair enough but generic), employee surveillance (mostly happening in customer service rather than tech) and getting recognised by Apple. I'm not seeing anything about resisting back-to-office mandates or harmful overtime / crunch practices from tech employers, which are AIUI more common in my industry.

    It feels more like "tech people doing a trade union" than "a trade union for tech people". It doesn't feel like something I want to support with member fees. Is this the best we can hope for? Am I getting something wrong?

    (and yes, I know I can join as a member, and volunteer countless hours of beating my head against a wall to fail to change the organisation's approach. I already spent decades doing that in other fields and have no desire to repeat the experience)

  41. I'm a member of the UTAW (United Tech and Allied Workers) - part of the Communication Workers Union.
    I hope I never need to ask them for anything but £2 a month to support their work and know they are there if I ever need them is very cheap.
