Code for America just fired a bunch of people engaged in union activity so always remember that organisations nominally supporting the public good are not necessarily good

@mjg59 I don't understand what the downside of having workers organize is in the US - is the thinking that organized workers will act in bad faith?

@mjg59 I think @sarahljaffee summed it up neatly in Work Won’t Love You Back: “The problems of today’s nonprofit sector are outgrowths of this necessary inequality: nonprofits exist to try to mitigate the worst effects of an unequal distribution of wealth and power, yet they are funded with the leftovers of the very exploitation the nonprofits may be trying to combat. Nonprofit work then is also caring work, also service work, privatized, on the one hand, unlike public school teaching, but supposedly not in service of the profit motive. Nonprofits are not, despite their supposed lack of interest in profit, exceptions to the capitalist system but embedded in it, necessary to its continued existence.“Kelly Hayes references it in the latest episode of Movement Memos: https://truthout.org/audio/our-movements-need-infrastructure-for-care-recovery-and-belonging/
