<p>Okay, I’m excited about this one.</p> <p>Starting today, <a href="https://abookapart.com/">my publisher</a>’s announced a change to <a href="https://abookapart.com/products/you-deserve-a-tech-union"><cite>You Deserve a Tech Union</cite></a>’s pricing. Namely, if you use the discount code <strong><code>UNION</code></strong>, you’ll get 50% off the book when you <a href="https://abookapart.com/products/you-deserve-a-tech-union">buy it direct from A Book Apart</a>. <sup class="footnote-ref"><a class="footnote" href="#fn-code" id="fnref-fn-code" aria-labelledby="title-footnotes">1</a></sup></p> <p>Now, if you’re able to pay full price for the book, I’ll be deeply grateful. But when I decided to write about the need for unions in tech, I wanted to make sure that this book was available as broadly as possible. I don’t want cost to be a barrier to reading this book. And from the outset, A Book Apart’s been really supportive of that. When the book first went up for preorders, they added a note to the product page about pricing accommodations. But now, there’s no need to email them: if you want or need a discount, the code’s just <em>right there,</em> available for you to use. And I hope you do.</p> <p>Anyway. I’m real, real proud of <cite>You Deserve a Tech Union</cite>, and I would love to see it reach as many people as possible. I hope this discount can help it do just that.</p> <p>Now, if the book’s already reached you? Well, that means the world to me. What’s more, I really hope the book’s useful to you. Because really, you <em>do</em> deserve a tech union. And I hope this book can help you<span class="w"> —</span> even in a small way<span class="w"> —</span> to finding your way to forming one.</p> <hr /> <div class="footnotes flow"> <h2 class="hed-footnotes has-dash" id="title-footnotes">Footnote</h2> <ol><li id="fn-code" class="footnote-item"><p>Just to underline this tiny point: this code can be used when you <a href="https://abookapart.com/products/you-deserve-a-tech-union">buy <cite>You Deserve a Tech Union</cite> on A Book Apart’s website</a>.
