"Tech Workers' Syndicate" was only a placeholder I thought up at the spur of the moment. However, it seems to be shaping up to be a good name to just keep.

I think a big part of the inspiration came from the fact that I recently read The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. It seems like the sort of thing an Anarresti would have named it, and that seems appropriate and nice :)
Delware Code, Title 8, subsection 102(a)(1) says

(The certificate of incorporation shall set forth) The name of the corporation, which shall contain 1 of the words “association,” “company,” “corporation,” “foundation,” “fund,” “incorporated,” “institute,” “society,” “union,” “syndicate,” or “limited"...

So it may actually be nicer than something like Tech Workers' Cooperative, Inc. (because you don't need to tack on the extra "company", "association", "incorporated", whatever) On the other hand, using the phrase "worker cooperative" in the name immediately indicates that we are, in fact, a worker cooperative.

Another consideration is SEO and domain choice (see #1)
