### AI overview

JS Tan and Clarissa Redwine's book examines a decade of tech worker organizing, including protests over employer policies and contracts, and argues that employee influence has weakened amid layoffs and AI coding tools. The article describes their account of worker actions and the role collective bargaining might play in restoring workers' ability to shape technology and workplace decisions.

### Source excerpt

### AI overview

JS Tan and Clarissa Redwine's book examines tech worker organizing over the past decade, including employee protests, employer responses and the decline in workers' leverage. Tan attributes that decline partly to a weaker labor market and the effects of AI coding systems on workers' jobs and security.
