I know a few Google union workers that have openly advertised the union in group chats of thousands of people after every layoff + benefits cut and have the AWU logo in their profile picture that gets prominently seen on every software they use
My friend has also talked shit about Sergey Brin and Larry Page (Google founders + 51% voting share owners) to try and stop the worship of them on these same group chats
huh, fair enough. I've only ever organized in smaller shops (200-30k fte) and I've seen people retaliated against for merely asking if the company would voluntarily recognize, or if there could be a c-level position held by a worker rep
shows what management thinks of the threat posed by the AWU tbh.
if I'm understanding what you mean by group chats, part of that goes to my point tho--they're doing this in group chats or on blind or whatever, not using the tools & time dedicated to organizing by the company itself.

This is through the company Google chat instance in community group chats that the union thinks is best reachable like all the new grad groups, trans groups, black groups, etc.
