It's weird to post a LinkedIn thing here, but Henry, president of the Swedish Spotify Workers Union,
has been demoted by Spotify management, predictably. It's easier to have a union in Sweden than in the US (for now), but Spotify and other tech companies like it are really hostile places for worker organizing generally, so I'm impressed that it's happening.
People working in software always seem to assume they'll have some perceived upper hand when dealing with companies, but as we've seen, they can be laid off easily if there is a layoff trend that executives have decided is cool. Not to mention the thing where companies make tech workers work against their own values.
Millionaire baseball players have a union, but software engineers just don't seem as smart about that kind of thing.
