Good hopefully they can establish a place for themselves so that their labor can't be taken advantage of by American companies as well and that forces American companies to actually relent on punishing American tech workers and trying to force down their wages.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yea, this is awesome for all of us. Fuck corporate overlords.
Fantastic to see workers sticking up for themselves on the other side of the world. An international labour movement is possible and would be a huge force for good in the world.
They are the backbone of most corporate IT departments. If they all went on strike they’d get what they wanted. Corporations would never pay US salaries to fill all their positions.
ever since the massive layoffs of tech started in 2023, yea thats the sign.
Hence the enshittification of many tech implementation of major corps
It's India. For every protestor, there's 5 people applying for his job already.
To be honest, if you don't want to be a slave to corps, don't get into the tech industry. Unless someone out there has actually managed a unicorn experience and pathway and wants to share.
Yeah. Blame the worker for the abuse their corporate overlords hand out.
Meh. I switched out. Fucking happy now. Didn't have it in me to ride out an abusive relationship in case it came good one day.
Yeah, just be poor and struggling. That’s a better option.
That's their current state because they're taken advantage.of by corps. An option is to not be that by abandoning corps. The article is quite clear if you read it.
Alright okay so just be poor and struggling until change happens
Exactly
When "so" is in the starting two words of a Lemmy comment, there's a 90% chance you've attracted a real genius that's definitely not at all building straw men and is totally capable of following along things without further explanation.
I know when I've been bested.
It’s the third word
Ah, "ah" is a word and not an interjecting expression. Bested again! You're on fire.
Where are you seeing “ah”?
Bold to live life thinking people are more stupid than you. I admire your confidence.
Oh, I've been bested again! Fool me thrice...
Your pencil has 15h battery life left? Cool…irrelevant.
Ask yo momma
Is that a comparison of your penis to a pencil? My momma would never.
There are many great jobs in the tech industry, aim for smaller companies with a humane culture.
I have a great tech job but also yes it's very rare.
