Google has a white supremacy problem. The James Damore incident was a highly public display of that internal tension. It's a sign they have made little progress resolving it with the firing of Timnit Gebru, an eminently qualified data scientist that focused her work on that exact issue.

A union is not just about how "highly paid" employees are, it can help protect employees from those kinds of institutional deficiencies.

And this is the problem with the Google Union. The ideologies already commanding way too much of the discussion are going to be hyper-empowered by the union.

By 2025 I imagine that if you Google "conservative" you'll instantly have all your Google Services wiped, get banned from the platform, and be reported to the Progressive Thought Technology Alliance Union, so that Twitter and AWS can do the same to you.
