Nobody in this union is going to fight against "injustice". Look at their list of demands. It's indeed a red scare because they are really, really red. For example, refusing to work with the defence industry - which country in the world would benefit most from a damaged US/European military? China!

We can see what kind of union this is by the fact that:

1. They aren't going to try and bargain collectively

2. Their announcement claims Timnit Gebru was fired and that was terrible, instead of the obvious truth that she said made obnoxious requests and said she'd resign unless she got them, then was told "OK, we accept your resignation". They're a brand new organisation and they're already misrepresenting reality.

In other words it's going to be nothing like the IBEW or whatever. It's yet another left-wing campaigning organisation, pretending to be a union to try and make the members un-fireable no matter how nasty they become.

The whole point of unions is that no one is subject to the vagaries of summary termination. But don't worry, I'm not holding my breath on this.

But the left/right pendulum swings both ways. It would also protect people from the next kerfuffle over Cancel Culture.

People should have the right to not be threatened with the removal of their livelihood for arbitrary reasons. I mean, there's nothing unreasonable in that position, and its merits can be examined outside of the left/right lens.

The justification for its existence is to propagate cancel culture - read what they've written about their goals! A part of their mission is to cancel whole customers and let's face it, if they think Gebru was "fired" they aren't going to stick up for James Damore are they?

Any manager at Google who wrote and distributed what Timnit did about diversity efforts (that they're pointless and should be stopped) would be fired on the spot. Every manager at Google knows this.
