It's a sign of nascent change that springs from the grassroots. The only way we'll know for sure is if organizers appear and begin to succeed.

In the context of the child separation policy, some of my colleagues asked what can be done, just giving money didn't seem to be enough. I mentioned a general strike, and they didn't react like it was a crazy idea though unlikely to take hold since this openly fascist policy only affects non-white foreigners. Maybe things are changing though.

Spring forth cadres of the revolution! Your people need your leadership.

It's not just software industry btw: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/local/gray-matters/article/...

How would employees at Google or Microsoft benefit from unionizing?

Organizing for what? Google employees are well paid, have exceptional benefits — why would they want to potentially destroy all that for collective bargaining? That’s ridiculous.
