All of these platforms examples point out challenges with the physical situations of workplaces. Where people gather, where they talk, etc. Is there a good reason organizing isn’t happening off-work or online? For example, getting employees in a WhatsApp group. In my mind this should be easier to achieve. Then you can do your organizing business from there. Couldn’t you circumvent on-premises union busting efforts this way? Once you have off-prem comms, you could do card signing and all that off-prem. Am I naive in thinking that? Maybe it’s already done but what I see in this article doesn’t hint at it.

One could even leverage LinkedIn to contact employees without ever setting foot at the workplace. Yes not all people use it but it could start a network. The person on LinkedIn knows a few that aren’t on LinkedIn. Here’s the WhatsApp link, forward it.

I’m a complete layman when it comes to this topic so I might be missing some obvious issues.
