Unions just have special protected legal protection that could be utilized in a legal battle or to threaten legal battles in order to get concessions.
Right now all there is is the threat of lawsuits, that Reddit will probably win, in order to threaten more lawsuits. The negotiation power to get concessions there is limited at best.
I’m not seeing any serious suggestions of that there. Looks more like hypothetical talk.
I actually had a similar thought to that yesterday. Could moderators be classified as employees for the work they do?
I think you would have a massive uphill struggle to argue Reddit’s moderators are employees in court. Without that no back pay and no union.
no need to classify as employees to form organised resistance. Look at the French Resistance in WW2, the American War of Independence!!!
Correct no need to form a union for resistance.
