The author is Italian teaching in Canada. While it's true that in the USA democratic structures in the workplace are less common than elsewhere, I think the author is presenting the phenomenon in a rethorical fashion to motivate workers to fight the new forms of Authorian control in the workplace.
Yeah, what I said in no way invalidates their thesis, which is well done. Rather I'm highlighting the problem is much bigger and entrenched than what it appears to be in our industry. Arguably change in our indistry could be more impactful for the whole working class since we can stop the whole economy now that critical parts of it run in the cloud. So if the message is targeted at us, it's probably good targeting.
