The United Steelworkers (USW) today condemned HCL Technologies, Ltd., for coercing employees into mandatory meetings aimed at defeating the workers’ campaign to organize a union and bargain collectively for better, more secure jobs at Google’s Bakery Square offices. Last month, more than 66 percent of roughly 80 eligible HCL employees signed cards indicating their desire to be represented by a union, and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) scheduled a representation election for Sept. 24, 2019. Since then, HCL has enlisted Eric Vanetti of “Vantage Point Alliance,” a controversial management consultant who gained notoriety in March 2018 for playing a role when Fuyao Glass defeated a union organizing campaign at its facility in Moraine, Ohio, as documented in the film American Factory.
