Local workers on strike have won powerful national allies this week: U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Greg Casar.
: “Mr. Pichai: your $60 billion in profits last year enables you to not only treat your workers fairly, but also recognize the invaluable contributions YouTube Music workers bring to your company and our community. Our request to you is simple: Ensure that all Google workers, including YouTube Music workers, are able to freely exercise their right to join a union as guaranteed by federal law.
“I think this retaliation is because of how much opportunity there is for working people if we organize,” Casar told theMonday. The letter decries Cognizant’s response to the workers’ strike: “Instead of reversing course, recognizing the union, and bargaining in good faith over ‘return-to-work’ and other policies, Cognizant doubled down and has reportedly offshored this work to workers in India.”
Even though Cognizant is the technical employer of the YouTube Music contractors, worker/organizer Sam Regan says they’re rallying at Google because “we believe that Cognizant and Google are joint employers for our department.” Previously Reganmost everything except the human resources team is managed by Google. “Google is a much bigger company than Cognizant, and we know that they have the power to influence aspects of our contract and working conditions.
