Title: I&#x27;m not talking about your Dad or Grandma&#x27;s union of yesteryear but a new type of union focused on collective bargaining for issues that matter and taking decisive action.<p>Our new style of union would:<p>- Encourage corporations to take security and privacy seriously<p>- Advocate for those affected by automation<p>- Aide in the creation of standards<p>- Support free and open source software communities<p>- Strengthen the efforts of organizations like EFF, Archive.org, Tor, etc<p>- Advocate for a free and open internet<p>- Counterbalance corporate interests<p>Once upon a time, unions did a lot of good for working and middle class people and they failed ultimately in the end.<p>It seems we as developers have the power to create a new type of union. A new model that disrupts old ideas for collective bargaining and actually does some good in the world.<p>What will our legacy be? Some things in life are greater than code.<p>Why don&#x27;t developers unionize?
