Description
Summary:In early 2021, workers at Alphabet, Google's parent company, announced the formation of the Alphabet Workers Union (AWU), intended to positively change the company's culture and its approach to political, social, and labor issues, which had been the source of employee tensions, lawsuits, and walkouts.
