Fighting for a better world as a Django developer
summary
Begins with one-on-one conversations to form a committee that lists concrete demands, then escalates through a petition, a march on the boss, or calibrated pressure like work-to-rule; concrete technical tactic: write hidden automated tests as collective action to improve quality without permission. Offers cheap strike examples (slow down, comply only with policies) and client refusals (no petroleum projects), suggests gathering support across teams, helping outsourced colleagues organize, and using legal union backing when available to protect organizers.
