There were over 108,000 tech workers laid off in January. Major tech and media companies like the Washington Post and Pinterest are slashing jobs while engaging in aggressive union-busting tactics. Laidoff workers are bearing the brunt of the corporate restructuring and AI-driven automation, but we don't have to face it alone.

Speakers include representatives from:

• Amazon

• Washington Post Tech Guild

• Pinterest

• National Employment Law Project

• DSA Tech Action

We’ll talk about how to prepare for a layoff, with know-your rights guidance to help navigate severance and unemployment benefits.

We’ll also talk about campaigns on state and federal levels for expanded UI, public or employer-funded reskilling programs, portable benefits, a four-day work week, and worker voice in AI policy.

Let’s mobilize to fight for structural change!

What We Will is a worker center organizing workers across sectors impacted by A.I. disruption for mutual aid, community building, skill sharing, and mobilizing for policy change.

Tech Workers Coalition is a coalition of tech industry workers, labor organizers, community organizers, and friends cultivating solidarity among all workers in tech, with local chapters throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Many thanks to volunteers from the Civic Spark Collective for helping to facilitate breakout room discussions during the final 30 minutes of our mass call.
