We're Alphabet workers. We’ve been organizing for over a year, & we’re finally ready to share why.
This morning, we're announcing #AWU, the first union open to *all* workers at any Alphabet company.
Every worker deserves a union—including tech workers.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/04/technology/google-employees-union.html …
The past few years at Google have been tumultuous: secret military AI projects, multi-million dollar payouts to execs who sexually harassed our coworkers, profiting from hate speech, & more. Coworkers who've voiced concerns have even been fired, illegally, as retaliation.
And the only thing that's changed anything is worker organizing. Worker organizing got Project Maven & Project Dragonfly cancelled. It got 20,000+ Googlers to walk out against sexual harassment. It got $15 min wage & healthcare for contractors. And it's going to get us more.
Yet problems persist. We still have discrimination, harassment, & retaliation at Google. Over half our workforce are TVCs—paid less, w/fewer benefits, for often the exact same work. A few at the top are getting enormously rich while others see nothing of that wealth.
That isn't the company we want to work for. We deserve a workplace that respects us, where we can work for a fair wage without fear of abuse or discrimination. We deserve meaningful control over the projects we work on & the direction of this company.
We'll be open to *all* Alphabet workers—full-time employees & TVCs. If you're a worker at any Alphabet company, join us.http://alphabetworkersunion.org
Wow, this is great news! Solidarity from Sweden!
well done everyone - really excited to see what you'll acheive in the future, good luck x
Hell yeah
This is awesome. I hope it is wildly successful and can be an eventual model for union organizing outside of Alphabet. Kudos and good luck.
