How to send us your employment agreement

Tech Solidarity is organizing workers in the tech industry. As a first step, we are soliciting employment agreements from tech employees. These are passed on to a trusted cabal of labor lawyers, who are using them to come up to a practical per-company strategy.

We don't need your personal information, but we do need to get in the weeds of how employment agreements are structured.

The guidelines below have been developed to let you submit this information as anonymously as possible.

Any information you share will be stored securely and shared with a limited group of organizers. We will not keep this information longer than necessary, and we'll announce when it has been deleted.

Note: if you are an independent contractor, please review the confidentiality clause in your employment agreement before sending it.
