a tiny fraction of google employees appropriating the language of exploited coal miners while enjoying the most privileged, white collar work experience in human history should not be the subject of glowing press. this isn't a union, it's a LARP. and it's offensive.

Unions not only allow for employees to organize to achieve better conditions and benefits for themselves, but also to push back and resist any unethical actions by the company towards others and have a larger say in company direction and policy.

Then quit? Even I had the option to quit the factory, other job options were worse but still they were other options. I don't understand how employees have any right whatsoever to make decisions they arent in a position to make. Quit the damn company if you think it's unethical!

Especially since it's friggin google, you'll definitely be able to get hired elsewhere, it's not like you're struggling to stay off the street. Don't enter someone else's construction and then demand it be changed. They didn't have to build the company or hire you!
