“Communications Workers of America (CWA)—the union that represents over 2,000 workers across companies like Microsoft, Activision, Bethesda, and Zenimax—is announcing a new industry-wide union called United Videogame Workers-CWA. Unlike unions that have been studio- or discipline-specific, this one is open to *all* video game workers in the United States and Canada, regardless of employment status.” aftermath.site/uvw-cwa-video-g

aftermath.site · CWA And Video Game Workers Launch New Industry-Wide Union Anyone Can Join, Even If They've Been Laid Off - AftermathCommunications Workers of America (CWA) – the union that represents over 2,000 workers across companies like Microsoft, Activision, Bethesda, and Zenimax – is launching a new industry-wide union called United Videogame Workers-CWA (UVW-CWA). It's open to all video game workers in the United States and Canada, regardless of employment status.

As #GameDev.s worldwide fight back against worsening working conditions, expect more #UnionBusting (and in Germany Works Council-Busting).

But you are not helpless against it! The #CWA has collected many union-busting strategies and talking points. A highly recommended read if you plan to #unionize.

Schade, dass auch das Derivat (#Fork) der #OpenSource #Corona Warn #App (#CWA) ruht & archiviert ist: codeberg.org/corona-contact-tr

Es entstand neben der offiziellen App als Fork ohne proprietäre Abhängigkeiten zu Googles Exposure Notification Framework - im Gegensatz zur offiziellen CWA. (Sie verwendet die Drop-in kompatible microg Implementierung als Alternative.)

Warum nicht aus den Erfahrungen der #Pandemie lernen & damit einen #DigitalenImpfausweis umsetzen?

(M)ein Anwendungsfall:
Habe gegenwärtig Mühe, alle analogen (oft unleserlichen) Einträge im Papierausweis zwecks Wiederholung wichtiger Basisimpfungen rauszufiltern.

Ein digitaler #Impfausweis als App mit Import aller digitalen #Impfzertifikate für jede Impfung & rechtzeitiger Erinnerung bei Ablauf wäre doch zeitgemäßer, oder? Man kann bei jeder Impfung beides ausgeben: Einen analogen Sticker mit Unterzeichnung und ein digitales Zertifikat - alles dezentral & in eigener Hand.

We stand in solidarity with members across the #NewsGuild whose vital organizing efforts would be threatened by this bill. Contact your representatives now to let them know your concerns. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell

actionnetwork.orgTell your Reps: VOTE NO on H.R. 9495! Defend nonprofit workers NOW. This week the U.S. House of Representatives is voting on H.R. 9495, a bill which includes language that would give the Secretary of the Treasury almost unilateral power to strip the tax-exempt status from any nonprofit organization it deemed to be “providing material support to terrorist organizations.” It was narrowly defeated in an earlier vote on November 12 because it failed to clear a 2/3rds majority vote in the House. During last week’s vote more than 50 House Democrats voted in favor of the bill, which would give future administrations the power to silence dissent and chill opposition, without due process for those targeted. House Republicans reintroduced the bill in a second attempt to pass it and changed the rules so only a simple majority is needed to pass it and move it to the Senate. A vote on the House floor is expected this week. We are urging our members and supporters to contact their U.S. Representative TODAY and ask them to vote NO on H.R. 9495 and preserve free speech at nonprofit organizations. Use this form to send a letter to your representative in Congress.
