Mike's tweet seems ignorant to the point of bad-faith. Based on my (very superficial) reading, it's not at all like a coal miner's union and doesn't claim to be. Less about wages and more about organizing activism within Google.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/04/technology/google-employees-union.html …
you are repeating my point back to me. agree, this is nothing like a coal miner's union, but they have absolutely appropriated that language.

“Our goals go beyond the workplace questions of, ‘Are people getting paid enough?’ Our issues are going much broader,” "it could have huge impacts not just for the workers, but for the broader issues that we are all thinking about in terms of tech power in society,” Are they?

What does it mean to "appropriate the language" of a coal miner's union? Is it just because they're calling it a union? They seem to be pretty transparent about their motives, which are completely different.
