Google Walkout for Real Change

Google Walkout for Real Change says if protections are rolled back, company will be complicit in limiting workers' rights

In an email to all of Google, Sundar assured us that he and Google's leadership supported the Walkout. But the company's requests to the National Labor Relations Board tell a different story, showing that Google would rather pay lawyers to change national labor law than do what's right. Google is aiming to silence us at a time when our voices are more essential than ever: from Maven, to Dragonfly, to the Walkout, collective action and worker organizing has helped check unethical and selfish executive decision making, where "official channels" continually failed. If these protections are rolled back, Google will be complicit in limiting the rights of working people across the United States, not just us. We will continue to stand up for justice, equity, and a safe workplace, in solidarity with all workers.
