Adobe’s employees are typically of the same opinion of the company as its users, having internally already expressed concern that AI could kill the jobs of their customers. That continued this week in internal discussions, where exasperated employees implored leadership to not let it be the “evil” company customers think it is.
This past week, Adobe became the subject of a public relations firestorm after it pushed an update to its terms of service that many users saw at best as overly aggressive and at worst as a rights grab. Adobe quickly clarified it isn’t spying on users and even promised to go back and adjust its terms of service in response.
For many though, this was not enough, and online discourse surrounding Adobe continues to be mostly negative. According to internal Slack discussions seen by Business Insider, as before, Adobe’s employees seem to be siding with users and are actively complaining about Adobe’s poor communications and inability to learn from past mistakes.
That’s what it is with a union too, it’s just more organized. You can strike without a union, it’s just a lot harder to organize and the stakes are way higher.
And with a union, you have legal protection. Individually, you don’t.
Not necessarily. Private unions exist and don’t have legal protection.
I’ve never heard of private unions, so I googled. Sounds like it’s just a union at a private company? That’s probably the vast majority of unions. And yes, they have protection under the NLRA.
