There's this ongoing attempt at Google called Alphabet Workers Union. Instead of simply negotiating for higher pay, their goals were all over the place according to their website: https://web.archive.org/web/20220305061423/https://alphabetw... "We are BIPOC workers who fight against totalitarianism." "Our union of 800+ members strives to protect Alphabet workers, our global society, and our world. We promote solidarity, democracy, and social and economic justice."
Today the site looks better, but still, you might wonder if Google planted them as a way to prevent a real union from forming.
Why wouldn't you hear this call year after year? It is a perpetual call, and while it will take years to move the needle, direction and velocity are what matter. I mean, would you hear about human rights in one year and that'd be the end of it? Definitely challenging with the individual exceptionalism mindset, despite the overwhelming data, but rarely is important work ever easy.
