The_Mixer_Dude comments on Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike

[–] The_Mixer_Dude@lemmus.org 2 points 3 years ago (13 children)

Yeah I read this article and other sources on the subject that give more details. Google has said they support them organizing but it's not up to them. As far as I'm aware Google is the only tech giant that has an employee workers union

Well you absolutely know wrong lmao the Alphabet Workers Union is not recognized by NLRB, and Amazon's Workers Union is. Apple also has some unionization, as do several video game developers and support companies.

Google has said they support them unionizing because they think it will not affect them at all. Maybe go look into the handful of people who have attempted to formally unionize at Google and see how they have all been fired. Then try and tell me Google supports unionization.

Amazon Warehouse and delivery drivers unionizing is not similar to the situation that the YouTube Music workers are dealing with and aren't the same as what the Alphabet union is but I'm glad you feel like undermining alphabet users achieving what they have but you are fully into recognizing two Apple retail stores barely passing and neglecting to mention their constant Union busting and propaganda. Thanks for supporting workers!

Two things: for one, I work at Google and am part of the AWU, so fuck you.

And for two, please explain exactly how amazon unionization is so fundamentally different from AWU unionization? Is it because AWU seeks to represent workers from every contractor/vendor alongside actual full time Googlers? Or what?

Lmao you've got nothing, that's why you aren't gonna waste your time. You tried saying I dont support workers or some shit when I'm part of the fucking union you just claimed me to be undermining. Maybe join and support a union yourself? I wouldn't stoop as low as calling you a shit human, but you are severely misguided.

And what do you think I've made up to win an argument? You are making a lot of baseless claims here, looks like you are the one making up shit

You made up me making up stuff. I never misrepresented anything in my comments, so your claim that I have made stuff up is a lie.
