You realize that we are talking about Google, right? These examples are hilarious, but also a little insulting to employees who actually need unions. Which does not include any Google employees.

Given that Google was illegally colluding with several other companies to keep employee salaries down, maybe said employees do need an organization to watch their backs.

it seems to me like Google needs unions -- not for pay, but for having a bigger say in what gets made and what shouldn't be created

And work hours. Exploiting salaried workers with insane expectations of what amounts to unpaid overtime is a really big problem.

Indeed, this whole particular story started when Google retaliated against employees who opposed its bid for a CBP contract.

The context is "disagreeing with unions", which wasn't further qualified.
edit: and certainly not restricted to Google. Just re-read chrisseaton's comment -- downvoting me doesn't change what's written here, it just adds the data point of dishonesty and underhanded tactics.

How so?
