What they opposed was a system where factory owners used technological change to disempower workers, cut wages and increase their own profits. Sound familiar? Today, we see the same drive from the big tech bosses to undermine our labour power and living standards.

We need a strong, pro-worker team elected to the EWC. This is one of the few legal mechanisms available to get our union into TikTok and build worker power across borders. Nominations close Monday, 14th September. DM us for the Lark channel link. #TikTokWorkers #DATACWU #EWC
100
Digital And Techworker Alliance (DATA) @data-cwu.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
So why do pro-worker seats matter? Winning an EWC seat gives workers a permanent place at the table with senior management. It helps ensure workers are heard, creates opportunities for cross-border solidarity and can support union organising and campaigns.
100
Digital And Techworker Alliance (DATA) @data-cwu.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
When a company plans major changes affecting workers in 2+ countries, including restructuring, redundancies or layoffs, management must inform and consult the EWC. That means workers can have a voice when decisions affecting them are being made across borders.

Digital And Techworker Alliance (DATA) @data-cwu.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
What is an EWC — and why does it matter to TikTok workers? The European Works Council brings together worker representatives from the different EU countries where a multinational company operates, giving workers a collective voice with central management. #TikTokWorkers #DATACWU
