    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.
    Chewy Shaw, an engineer at Google, at a video meeting with other workers. He said a union would keep pressure on management.

    Unions shouldn't be this threatening to you, Dan, they're just democracy in the workplace.

    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.

    BREAKING:Google Maps Worker Victory! Today, the Google Maps contract workers informed management that they planned to go on strike due to the unsafe working conditions imposed by the 6/6 RTO date. In less than 3hrs workers won a 90 day extension—this is the power of organizing.

    Our statement on yesterday's coup attempt at the Capitol. Social media companies, including YouTube, an Alphabet product, bear tremendous responsibility for the growing fascist movement in the US. We have organized against this before & we stand ready to do so again—as a union.

    “engaging directly” with workers? This is a classic union busting technique, “3rd partying” the union, making it out like the Union is some outside force. We, the workers, ARE THE UNION. We're not some outside force that will come between workers & mgmt. It is us, the workers.

    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.

    So we're building on all these past organizing efforts & more to create a structure for a unified worker voice. We're organizing w/@CWAUnion @CODE_CWA, w/dues-paying members, an elected board, & paid organizers. We'll work to undo inequalities & injustices at Alphabet.

    We're outside Google's SF offices now, speaking out against Project Nimbus, the $1.2 billion AI contract with the Israeli gov. We're all demanding Google cut this contract. #NoTechforApartheid
