The Tech industry Is Changing

The dawning of the era of autonomous robots, ever more capable artificial intelligence, and many more, signals a new world taking shape.

The technology industry is developing rapidly every day, presenting new innovations and revolutionary projects that permanently paint pictures of the future, and there are scientists, engineers and brilliant minds everywhere in the world striving to build the next piece of future technology that will change our lives.

There are innovations happening right now that have been borrowed directly from the pages of science fiction, whether it is robots that can read what minds think, or artificial intelligence capable of creativity and self-reflection, or electronic eyes, or smart watches and many other innovations that amaze the mind, and there are always More you can expect from this world, some of which were mentioned by the Science Focus platform in a recent report.

In fact, we are only in the early stages of a major change affecting the technology industry in the world and all aspects of life, due in part to the international catastrophes that were not considered by anyone not long ago.

The Corona pandemic not only forced us to shift to work from home, but also led to a wave of resignations by many people who decided that they did not really want to return to a job they hated, and, in turn, began working on their own personal projects.

Concerns about climate change and rising oil prices are prompting all the world's major auto companies to switch to electric cars.

The war in Ukraine is also forcing a radical transformation not only in the structure and distribution of power in the world, but it has created the first viable international cyber army, which includes many technical forces and professional hackers around the world.

The advent of the era of technology unions

One of the interesting historical advantages of tech companies has been the immunity against trade unions and labor unions. Previously, there were no tech unions regulating work and dealing with capital. This allowed companies to be more free to deal with their employees, keeping production costs low without upsetting unions. .

However, a combination of poor management decisions, lack of salary increases for ordinary employees, outrageous salaries for board members, and other hostile practices towards employees, is rapidly changing the way they operate within America's big tech companies.

In this context, Apple stands out in particular, which its employees accuse of being unfair in dealing with them, which prompted a number of them to acquire Android phones to preserve the confidentiality of their union efforts, and their quest to organize themselves in the face of the giant company, as I mentioned. The Washington Post recently reported.

Employees of the giant company told the newspaper - on condition that their names not be revealed - that a large number of them in various Apple branches and stores in the country are working quietly to form their own union that takes care of their interests, with the support of major national unions operating in the United States, and these are preparing to submit papers Required to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in America in the near future.

Currently, almost all the big tech companies are facing the same problem with the possibility of dealing with unions very soon, and once unions start spreading, working and gaining strength, they also gain the ability to penetrate other tech companies, medium or emerging from them by working to persuade their employees They were subjected to ill-treatment, as the American writer specializing in technology affairs, Rob Underley, mentioned in an article on the Tech News World platform, during which he discussed the major transformations that will occur in the technology industry in the world in the coming stage.

The writer explains that once unions have enough members in the industry, it will become almost impossible to stop them, because the funding they receive enables them to launch campaigns to unite companies through a comprehensive system that includes all workers in the sector, and every victory in any battle fought by the union will increase its funding and spread And its ability to launch other campaigns to demand more rights for its members.

While this point of transformation has not yet been reached, but if companies do not change their behavior, and do not focus on the satisfaction and loyalty of their employees, unions will inevitably come in the near future - as the writer stresses - and the result will be a great financial cost, And an operational burden on the companies that join these unions, when these companies only blame themselves, their greed, and their unfairness towards their employees.
