I've met several people involved in union organizing at household name tech companies who have been disciplined by the companies they work for for exercising their "free speech" rights. You don't mean "tech left" here, you mean "liberal".

They're talking about the variety of "left" endorsed by tech companies; of course that doesn't include organizing unions.

organizing unions against your employer is not free speech. Mojang was on social media and got blacklisted (cancel culture), completely different.

It's actually an activity protected by law.
