Ethan Marcotte<p>Since todaybor day is Labor Day, I spent a few minutes freshening up the page for YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION. Nothing fancy, but I added some more options for buying the paperback, added *long*-overdue links for the ebook, and cleaned up some tiny design things that’d been bugging me.</p><p><a href="https://ethanmarcotte.com/books/you-deserve-a-tech-union/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ethanmarcotte.com/books/you-de</span><span class="invisible">serve-a-tech-union/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/1u" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>1u</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unions</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/YDATUbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YDATUbook</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>

Ethan Marcotte<p>”Ethan did a beautiful job of illustrating the need for solidarity and inclusion between all tech workers, highlighting the vital labor that lower paid so-called ‘non-technical’ workers do, the ways they’ve been uniquely exploited within the industry, and giving credit to the leadership and bravery they’ve shown through organizing prior to this current wave.”</p><p>— <a href="https://mailchi.mp/5459f5bb1fcb/tech-1010-newsletter-issue-15659597" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mailchi.mp/5459f5bb1fcb/tech-1</span><span class="invisible">010-newsletter-issue-15659597</span></a></p><p><a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/YDATUbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YDATUbook</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/review" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>review</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unions</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/techUnions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>techUnions</span></a> <a href="https://follow.ethanmarcotte.com/tags/1u" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>1u</span></a></p>
