Whatever happened to the Google union? (hexbear.net)

There was this huge hullabaloo about Google employees forming a union, but I'm assuming that went nowhere considering how ruthless the company was with it's layoffs. Anyone got the full scoop?

Oh, and there are also a few unions representing Alphabet workers outside the US. Pretty sure all the South Korean workers are unionized, a few hundred of the 5,000 British Alphabet workers are unionized, and some stuff happened in Europe that I'm not entirely clear on.

Can't say I'm surprised. Just a horde of cut-throat individualists in tech, it's a miracle they even reached 1400 members.
