"De wooncrisis komt niet door asielzoekers. Maar de politiek, die wil heel graag dat wij wegkijken van waar de échte problemen zitten en dat wij minderheden de schuld gaan geven. Ja, dat is bullshit."

Techwerker Emily sprak zich op zondag uit tegen fascisme in Nederland.

Allemaal samen tegen fascisme! Techwerkers en vele anderen verzamelden zich op zondag op het Jonas Daniël Meijerplein in Amsterdam om zich uit te drukken tegen het fascisme in Nederland.

Vandaag staken op verschillende plaatsen werkers bij de NS. Waarom? Zij eisen beter loon en betere arbeidsvoorwaarden—net zoals alle werkende mensen verdienen.

Techwerkers drukken hun steun uit met de strijd van werkers bij de spoorwegen ✊
Tekst: 'Steun aan spoorwegwerkers in de strijd voor beter & arbeidsvoorwaarden', met op de achtergrond een aantal treinen

Tech workers celebrated Labour Day! With flags, stickers, flyers for the Tech Workers for Palestine initiative, and lots of conversations about what you want to change at work

('Not having to work anymore!' is a perfectly acceptable answer 😅)

A report: techwerkers.nl/en/posts/dag...
Tech workers stand on a lawn at Museumplein in Amsterdam and display flags of the Tech Workers Coalition.

Tech worker! Are you celebrating Labour Day on the 1st of May?

✊ Labour Day
⏰ 1 May 2025, 2:00 PM
📍 Museumplein, Amsterdam

Ditch the screen or workbench for an afternoon. Let's celebrate organised labour. Against the dangers of mind-numbing AI, exploitation, and militarism worldwide

#MayDay

And you know what’s fun? (Read: not!)

If Booking CEO Glenn D. Fogel were to get fired for no reason, they’d get $111,026,960

And as a regular worker? What do you get??

On the left hand side, it's shown that Glenn D. Fogel would get $111,026,960 if they were to get fired for no reason. On the right hand side, it's shown that workers would get a middle finger instead.

At the same time as it’s making billions in profits, Booking is planning to lay off masses of workers at its Amsterdam offices.

Why?

Supposedly because … “organizational agility” 🤔
