Throwaway for anonymity reasons.

I learned to code. I am good enough to get a job at a Google/Amazon/Facebook. Should I do it? I feel like it would be working for the devil, but I also feel like almost every job is like that. $200k/yr sounds pretty nice.

    A good point. I should have mentioned that they should also get some training on unionizing and agitating, since I think a lot of people think it means you just start telling everyone that you should unionize. You've generally gotta start with small asks that don't seem particularly combative and work your way up, e.g. Also, as you mention, workplace organizing is still (technically) legally protected, so there are two likely trajectories:

    1. You successfully organize and get that union.

    2. You get pretextually fired long before this but can take a case to the NLRB.

    2 is more likely but will still immensely help the cause and if you were already doing a decent job organizing it won't just be you fighting that battle.
