More than 200 staff at Google’s parent company Alphabet have formed the Alphabet Workers Union, which is open to all employees across the US and Canada. The Alphabet Workers Union (AWU) announced its formation on Monday after a year of running off-radar. The union says it aims to promote inclusivity, push for more transparency for employees, and ensure Alphabet acts ethically. Google has come under fire from both workers and ethicists over workplace sexual harassment, targeted drone strike technology, and the recent firing of AI researcher Dr. Timnit Gebru.
