Workers at two stores gain collective bargaining rights in a breakthrough for the Alphabet Workers Union.
stores in Kansas City, Missouri, have voted to unionize Friday, becoming the first group represented by the Alphabet Workers Union to gain collective bargaining rights and win National Labor Relations Board recognition.
While the unit is small, AWU hopes it's the start of something big. “I absolutely think this is going to be the first of many,” says AWU chair Parul Koul. The workers are employed by BDS Connected Solutions, a staffing firm that Google contracts to provide customer service for its broadband offering. The union petitioned to designate Google as a joint employer, which would require it to bargain with the employees, but the company resisted.
“As time went on, it became more clear that if we wanted to protect the things we liked about our job, we needed to unionize,” says Derickson. She was inspired by the wave of labor activity that arose during the pandemic, including the high-profile union campaigns atIn a statement, a Google spokesperson wrote, “We have many contracts with both unionized and non-union suppliers, and respect their employees' right to choose whether or not to join a union.
When Derickson discovered AWU’s petition, she signed and decided to become a dues-paying member of the union. Eight of her Google Fiber colleagues later joined.
