Alphabet Workers Announce Union

In January 2021, 200 workers across Alphabet (including Google, subsidiary companies, and vendors) announced they had formed a non-contract union with CWA Local 1400 under the name "Alphabet Workers Union." The union is open to full time employees, as well as temps vendors and contractors. Within the first month, membership jumped to 900+ workers from all areas of the company.

Since launching, AWU has undertaken and won campaigns winning a data center worker her job back, winning a vendor worker the right to have their chosen name on their company badges, extra pay for interns, and more.
