Thanks for the link. This section caught my attention:
> I was interrogated about separate other organizing activities, and asked (eight times) if I had an intention to disrupt the workplace. The interrogations were extremely aggressive and illegal. They wouldn’t let me consult with anyone, including a lawyer, and relentlessly pressured me to incriminate myself and any coworkers
Sounds more foxconn than Google to me...
- leadingthenet 7y agoPersonally, this is exactly what I assumed Google to be like when it comes to unionising.
- whamlastxmas 7y agoI don't understand this "wouldn't let me" stuff. Pull out your phone and call someone. Some random person in a meeting room at Google isn't the police. You aren't in custody. If you're uncomfortable then walk out. If anyone at my employer was the least bit aggressive to me I would immediately walk away.
- MiroF 7y agoYes, but they are paying you. There's a power dynamic there, even if you aren't literally in custody.
- sct202 7y agoGoogle seems to be using tactics used on factory floors to suppress organization. It doesn't seem like a good idea considering how individual googlers have a lot more resources at their disposable compared to a hourly factory line worker. Whoever these consultants are, they seem to be providing very bad advice for a white collar environment where the workers are pretty wealthy and have friends who are in the media.
