Financial services workers are among the most at risk of AI-driven job loss. So of course, a union representing financial services workers is leading on protecting these jobs in the UK. We can’t expect governments or CEOs to protect our jobs from AI - we need to organize to do it ourselves. https://lnkd.in/gfEhinKy

Mountain View, CA 963 followers
A CWA-affiliated labor union that seeks to organize Alphabet workers to demand dignity and respect on the job.
About us
Our union strives to protect Alphabet workers, our global society, and our world. We recognize our power as Alphabet workers—full-time employees, temporary employees, vendors, and contractors—comes from our solidarity with one another and our ability to collectively act to ensure that our workplace is equitable and Alphabet acts ethically. We will use our reclaimed power to control what we work on and how it is used. We will ensure our working conditions are inclusive and fair. There is no place for harassment, bigotry, discrimination, or retaliation. We prioritize the needs and concerns of the marginalized and vulnerable. Workers are essential to the business. The diversity of our voices makes us stronger. We will ensure Alphabet acts ethically and in the best interests of society and the environment. We are responsible for the technology that we bring into the world, and recognize that its implications reach far beyond Alphabet. We will work with those affected by our technology to ensure that it serves the public good.

Laws guaranteeing the ‘right to disconnect’ are becoming more popular worldwide. Here in the US where we’re unlikely to see legislation like this pass at the national or even state level, our best shot at achieving rights like these is through collective bargaining. https://lnkd.in/gTstCcWS

AWU-CWA comms chair Stephen McMurtry in the MIT Technology Review! "On stage at the DNC, Harris vowed to center the concerns of working people over those of corporate America. If she stays committed to that path in the face of Silicon Valley’s well-funded opposition, she will find dedicated allies in tech workers." https://lnkd.in/epVvj2yS

This is exactly why layoffs should be a last resort, not a regular business practice. These companies lay us off with no basis in performance, and then use the fact that we’ve been laid off to exclude us from future opportunities. A single layoff can completely derail someone’s career, or even cost them their residency status. https://lnkd.in/gKXs_VuT

The tech execs who use their wealth to make local politics more regressive don’t represent tech workers – we do. The more that tech workers organize, the better we can make ourselves heard in our workplaces and in our communities. https://lnkd.in/gfmx8D_T
