I refuse to link to that hellsite, so I did folks a favor and took a screenshot.

For those that don't know, CODE-CWA is the Campaign to Organize Digital Employees, ran by the bottom-up international union Communication Workers of America. Microsoft had previously signed a card-check labor neutrality agreement with CWA, as the ABK Workers Alliance is actively coordinating with CODE

Oh my god, dual HR departments aren’t needed after a merger, for example. Take your severance and stop complaining. If you’re talented you can easily find a position within a week. Not talented? Well, then there’s probably a reason you’re one of the 1,900.

most people impacted were in Customer Service, Artists, Designers, Programmers, etc. The people cut were in areas that have been short staffed for nearly a year. HR was minimally impacted.

Edit: additionally, labor laws also exclude central business operations (like hr, er, management, security) from being in a union. CWA is speaking on behalf of workers that are capable of organizing, though they recognize that cutting management is also horrible. That's because it's always low level management who are crucial for daily operations.
