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?

do you really not understand how vanilla employee collective action works, or are you just baiting me?

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.

you organize around the demand, when you have a critical mass of coworkers, you present it to management. If they refuse, you walk

So that still needs approval to ship, which is what I'm saying. Bottom-up emp desire, and there is plenty, isn't enough to get to the public

I agree with analysis, but not conclusion. I was there for 5 years. Big reason I left is I don't believe bottom-up change is feasible.

Even if bottom up change is easier than I believe, employee opinion isn't what drives Corp. Many actions taken despite prevailing sentiment

two separate questions are, is it feasible in principle (easily, lots of industries do it), and will tech workers organize (nope)
