At my work just all me and my fellow techs in a meeting we basically expressed shared frustration at wages not increasing at all in last couple years despite the company making billions.

It appears we were all individually expressing this and it boiled over cause nothing was being done.

So are there any organizations collecting signatures or potential members with the goal of forming one later?

    I’ve wondered the same and I think the most direct way to form something useful is to form a Union at the company where you work. That way you have a chance at getting to 15 or 20% membership, which would form a big enough bloc to have actual influence over real issues at your current job. That Union would matter.

    I don’t think a broad “tech workers Union” can come about until we have more of those company unions. Eventually they will band together to enable solidarity. But joining an abstract “tech workers Union” right now seems meaningless to me. Are they going to help with current issue XYZ at my job? I don’t see how.
