How would employees at Google or Microsoft benefit from unionizing?

The same way any other unionized employees do: higher wages, better benefits, collective bargaining, serious representation in the corporate hierarchy, better job security.

And Google employees don’t already that? What better benefits could a Google possibly want? How much higher could their salaries go?

What better benefits could a Google possibly want?

More vacation time, more reasonable working hours, a more transparent process for promotions and raises, better paternity/maternity polices, a seat on the board and more say into how the company is run.

There is a lot more to collective bargaining than salaries.

By being able to influence management decisions, like working on drone assasinations, forced child separation and imprisonment, etc. etc. ad nauseam.
