A Programmer’s Union


The programmer’s union, which seeks to improve the lives of programmers, seeks to ensure that the highest operating principle of a technology company, the vast majority of which no longer require a sole individual to guide the company to higher levels of innovation, is none other than the programmer, programmers, or communities of programmers.

Among the demands of the programmer’s union is the institutionalization of four day work weeks at ten hours a day with a lunch less than two hours by thirty minutes, fully remote working stations, all business expenses paid by the programmer’s company, including but not limited to Internet, desk, chair, or laptop, the monitoring of which shall be illegal during non-business hours (i.e., after or before the ten hour work day). The programmer’s union seeks to ensure that workplaces pay for a gym pass or other expenses.
