How would this work? Even if employees build features they can't ship w/o mgmt approval. Also, -1 on assumptions about what employees want.

the point of collective action is you don’t need management approval. You obtain it by organizing around a demand

How does this ship without approval? How does the public use if it doesn't ship?

I must not b/c I don't understand how this could work. Please illustrate or point me to examples. Employees can't push code unilaterally.

in terms of process or review, it works just like any other feature. The additional step is forcing management to back it

Now we're at Unionization or similar. Absent a CBA, employees could still agree to quit their jobs in unison but that's a massive commitment

nobody is talking about quitting. The whole point of labor law is to protect employees acting in concerted from losing their jobs
