UNCANNY: SHADOWS IN PARADISE.
Uncanny, a tech development firm that has gone from nothing to a household name throughout the United States in the last two years, has been a hot topic since they entered the limelight.
We all know about James Hawthorne and his charismatic combination of sarcastic quipping and insightful observations.
Everyone has seen his tweets, and his TED Talk went viral last year.
Behind the smokescreen, though, hides labor practices that have left employees scarred and, in some cases, permanently unable to work.
Did you know that Uncanny's Portland manufacturing site tried unsuccessfully to unionize last month?
I bet you didn't.
Did you know that four union organizers disappeared prior to the vote?
I bet you didn't.
Are you wondering why none of this was reported?
So am I.
