The biggest takeaway from this fellowship is that the intersection of tech and labor is multilayered, multifaceted, complex, sometimes fun, and often appalling. Also, despite the geographical and social differences, issues and pain points among tech labor are pretty much the same — and often, equally overlooked. For instance, in Karachi and São Paulo alike, gig workers are becoming easy targets for criminals. And in Jakarta and across African countries, unionizing is a struggle for these workers.
