    Good, keep going, unionize all of Google/Alphabet.

    This is the only way to save the company long term.

        Not necessarily, but for anyone that wants to this is the only way to keep Google from imploding.

      Unions are for saving people FROM companies misusing their labor. They arent to save the companies, thats what the CEOs want.

    I hope they’re not using their google accounts for anything important, they might suddenly be missing stuff or the whole account.

    Like, good on them, but they helped build the torment nexus. What did they think it was going to be used for?
