In addition, Booking workers say NO to workplace retaliation and discrimination:

"We demand explicit assurance that employees are free to express solidarity with the Palestinian people without fear of retaliation, discrimination, or the application of double standards. This includes but is not limited to public expression, workplace discussion, and conscientious refusals to participate in activities that contradict such views."

Should be a given, because any such workplace discrimination & retaliation is prohibited under Dutch law, but hey :dunno: you never know

What would it look like for Booking to cease complicity in the illegal occupation of Palestine?

Booking workers demand, concretely:

  1. Remove the more than 50, currently bookable properties on illegally occupied Palestinian land from Booking.com’s platforms
  2. Suspend all operations in Booking.com’s Tel Aviv office, which offers material support for apartheid and war crimes
  3. Carry out a transparent audit of any AI or dual‑use technologies developed, deployed, or supported by the Tel Aviv office, with independent oversight and remedial action

The workers' core demand is that Booking should cease its complicity in the illegal zionist occupation of Palestine:

"We demand the company discloses all ties to the illegal Israeli occupation and immediately ceases its business relationship with apartheid Israel and adhere to international law as outlined in the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights"

I'm looking for a single #room from the 1 of September, anywhere in #Brussels. I am a native Italian speaker and I fluently speak English. I work remotely for a software company.

💡I have been a #techworkers #organizer 🤖 and #climatejustice #activist 🌿 for the last 5 years and I really look forward to meet people that can introduce me to the Brussels #grassroot political scene.

🗓️ I have 11 years of coliving experience. I am able to take care of myself and to keep shared spaces clean and in order once I'm done using them. I love to spend time together but at the same time, I strongly value boundaries and alone time.

💕 I am looking for a community with empathy and good vibes.

I sometimes smoke but it's no problem smoking only outside of the house. Budget between 600 and 700, utilities included .

Bosses are always keen to “reduce the cost of labour”

#TikTok plans in #Germany follow a tried and tested method whereby tech giants outsource services to countries with lower wages and weaker labor protections. In #Kenya, for example, TikTok is already using the subcontractor #Teleperformance The hourly pay there? $2.30.

Among companies sponsoring many #H1B employees for #GreenCards …are ones aligned w/ #Trump, such as #Oracle, #Palantir & #Musk’s #Tesla.

“This ad is for a PERM filing,”she said. “A filing for a green card.”

To anybody familiar w/the #PERM system, those words meant the ad was not really intended to find applicants.…One of the most overlooked yet consequential corners of the US immigration system: the process by which employers sponsor #TechWorkers w/temporary #H1B #visas as a first step to getting them the #GreenCard….

It’s been a minute since I have actually seen Craig in my feed. I feel good but overwhelmed and getting stuff done, just not the right stuff…

But as your unofficial #InfoSec Shop Steward it’s time to stop working for the man, pick up the things that lift you, hobbies, family, friends, or if you’re like me, the trees.

The fancy AI company, and every post on your bosses LinkedIn, is telling them that AI GIVES at least 30% of productivity boost. It doesn't matter the specifics.. It doesn't matter your opinion about it. They will push AI because, in their minds, they see profit potential. Also, they think that the competition is doing the same.

It's all about capitalists ambition and fear making pression in the weakest spot. The tech workers will be squeezed.
