"When you have a monopoly you can’t really have a consumer boycott," Ceglowski said. "People can’t realistically not use Google or Facebook at this stage"
What? People can't not use Google or Facebook? I use Bing sometimes, it works fine, and of course you only really need to use search engines at all if your job requires it. And lots of people don't use Facebook, or used to use it and no longer do. This statement is just so clearly and factually false it is disappointing.
For progressives like Ceglowski, organizing tech workers is ... about pressuring companies to do better on a range of issues, from sexual harassment in the workplace, to user privacy and security, to election integrity
"Election integrity" presumably meaning that he wants the tech industry to control what people see about politics and politicians, lest they accidentally vote for the wrong guy.
As for doing more on progressive agendas ... the big tech firms are all notoriously controlled by an extremist "progressive" agenda already. How exactly does this guy expect Google to do even more than it already does on things like privacy and security, or sexual harassment in the workplace? They fired Damore for having the audacity to point out that years of bending over backwards to recruit more women had failed to make much difference because women don't study CS at the same rate - a verifiable fact that upset a bunch of fundamentalist feminists.
The idea that the tech industry needs to unionise to force tech firms to be even more Clintonite, globalist and to try and control elections is tremendously disturbing. My respect for this guy has plummeted.
