Google workers form union with CWA

By Thomas A. Smith

More than 200 Google employees have come together to form the Alphabet Workers Union amid increasing disagreements with company executives.

News of the union was announced Monday in a New York Times op-ed by two employees, Parul Koul and Chewy Shaw, who serve on the board of the Alphabet Workers Union as executive chair and vice chair, respectively.

Koul and Shaw said they have signed cards with the union Communications Workers of America, which represents workers from companies including AT&T and Verizon. They said 226 employees have joined the union. The union will be open to all Alphabet workers, they said, including temps, vendors and contractors. Alphabet has several subsidiaries including Google, YouTube and the self-driving car company Waymo. Alphabet has more than 130,000 employees worldwide.
