We are familiar with the exploitation of low-wage workers by big tech. But what about the more privileged groups of software developers, UX engineers, etc? Are they part of the problem, or a potential source of worker power? Based on research in Berlin's tech industry and my political work in the field, the talk explores the contradictory class dynamics of (labor) struggles against tech companies.
