Exclusive: Food service employees at Waymo are forming a union, citing the high cost of living in the Bay Area and lack of strong benefits while working for one of the world's most valuable companies.
Food service employees at the autonomous driving company Waymo are forming a union, the latest push by support workers to organize at Silicon Valley's most prominent companies.
"We want a voice at the table to have a part in saying how things should work," said Fernanda Martir, 28, a single mother who works in the kitchen and also as a barista at the company."We want better treatment and benefits." Workers say the $24 an hour they make from the company is not enough to live adequately in the Bay Area. They also cite the prohibitive cost of the company's health plan, which has a $5,000 deductible.
