This Week in Jobs: Kick off 'hot labor summer' with these 20 tech career opportunities
Summer's here — we've got Pride, crowded beaches and it's looking like we may be entering another hot labor summer.
The term 'hot labor summer' was coined in 2023 for that particularly heated season for unions and the labor force, with workers rallying for improved contracts from companies including Starbucks, UPS and Philadelphia International Airport. Philadelphia was seen as the epicenter of Hot Labor Summer, though it was nationwide.
This year, a lot of labor activity surrounds federal union cuts, after executive orders left federal employees with reduced collective bargaining rights, leading to widespread protests, including in DC and Pittsburgh. In the private sector, labor disputes continue between workers and companies including Starbucks and Amazon.
This might seem discouraging as you search for a new job, but labor disputes and even strikes keep people across industries — including tech — in better, safer jobs with better benefits. And if you land a job where those things are lacking, the IFTP (International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers) represents tech and game employees.
Here's to finding a job with fair pay, a clear growth path and people who say what they mean.
