Google didn’t unionize. Their “union” isn’t federally certified and they have current membership of 700/250000 workers. Google is under no obligation to work with them on anything. In the future, they could get a majority of workers agree to have a union represent them but that’s not the case at this time. What the Google union did was obstruct real unionization efforts at Google.

The fact that google's union needs to be federally certified and isn't also says something about unions: they are a monopoly in the bad sense. Either the union doesn't need federal certification, or it should automatically be.

I agree with the general thrust of this, but it seems misleading to describe an organization belonging to CWA Local 1400 as fake or not really a part of the labor movement. For better or worse, the labor movement believes these kinds of non-majority pressure groups count as real unions.
