AWU includes temps, vendors, and contractors (TVCs), who are not at all paid the way full-time employees are. I'm sure there's a lot of gains to make to ensure everyone has equitable pay.
That said, a lot of work that AWU is doing focuses on values organizing and employee ethics. Structures like this union help balance the power between workers and executives at Alphabet.
- chasd00 6y agothat's ominous, so if you don't tow the union line on the social issue of the day then they can prevent you from being a member which will be required for employment?
- ATsch 6y agoUnlike corporations like Google, who would never fire (sorry, "quit voluntarily") someone for criticizing the stance of the company on social issues.
- visarga 6y agoYeah, they should have taken her punch right to the face with a smile, without flinching, then apologized to her. Instead they said 'yes, right now' when she said 'here are my terms, you got to accept them or I leave'. Who would do that?
- SamoyedFurFluff 6y agoThey could at least admit she was terminated and not this “accept resignation” hogwash. I have no issue firing a worker who encourages peers to put less effort into the job. But at least say you’re doing so!
- ATsch 6y agoI'm confused, is losing your job for disagreement on social issues good or bad now? Or do these concerns about the people and factors that decide who does and doesn't get to work somewhere mysteriously stop and start at unions.
