Big and brief news: Alphabet Workers Union scores their first big victory against Google as they unanimously win at YouTube Music. The widely hyped vote ended 41 yes, 0 no in favor of unionization.
Although these workers are subcontractors through Cognizant, the NLRB has ruled that Alphabet is their ultimate employer and therefore must bargain with them. Google is appealing that decision. For the time being however they are--and if their appeal fails will be--obligated to meet at the bargaining table with AWU. Congratulations!
