NEW: Kickstarter workers vote to form first union in tech industry.

Kickstarter workers appear to be the first in the tech industry to successfully hold a companywide vote to form a union, according to Nataliya Nedzhvetskaya, a doctoral student at the University of California, Berkeley, who is the co-creator of Collective Actions in Tech, an“In the last year through our repository, we found a tremendous upsurge of activism from white-collar workers in tech specifically,” Nedzhvetskaya said.

“Tech company perks, like gourmet coffee, warm cookies, massage chairs or whatever, these things make people feel appreciated in the workplace,” Dubal said. “ But when workers see that their concerns are not taken seriously, all the perks can feel like tools to keep people subdued.”
