OpenAI employees should unionize. Org leadership is never going to be benevolent. Stop begging for permission to exercise rights and do something about it.

https://code-cwa.org/organize is only a suggestion, pick whichever org is most likely to provide you with the support and leverage needed to defend yourself from management in concert with the executive branch of the federal government.

Thought I hear this "call" year after year -- when HAS a tech company's employees unionized?

It seems hard to recall. Though it would be a great way to alter the power dynamic with management.

Why wouldn't you hear this call year after year? It is a perpetual call, and while it will take years to move the needle, direction and velocity are what matter. I mean, would you hear about human rights in one year and that'd be the end of it? Definitely challenging with the individual exceptionalism mindset, despite the overwhelming data, but rarely is important work ever easy.

Great so they want to be able to brag how they’re automating away jobs while getting rich but not at risk for repercussions of their pay day. If you lift the disparagement clauses what will OpenAI employees have to say about the dangers of the product that feeds their wallet? Honestly what a dog and pony show.
