Just one week after our first National Day of Action, we have our first major victory! Googlers in Platforms & Devices have been offered voluntary buyouts instead of enduring forced layoffs, a key pillar of our job security demands.
One day longer, one day stronger! AWU members in NYC hit the picket lines today in solidarity with @nynurses.bsky.social fighting for safe staffing, healthcare benefits, patient safety, and a fair contract! #1u #NYCNurseStrike

On January 4, 2026, Alphabet Workers Union turned 5! To celebrate our union’s 5th birthday, AWU members reflected on our first 5 years as a union. Some of us are founding members and some of us joined just this month – but we're all building worker power at Alphabet.

The Washington Post Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Hannah Natanson’s property and personal devices. Hannah is a valued member of our union whose work covering the federal workforce has been essential (1/3)

Tech giants are making massive investments in generative AI, integrating it into their existing products and selling access to the foundational models to other businesses and consumers.
But all that money and power isn’t making its way down to the people who make AI actually work: data workers.

As we move into the winter months, a season that has become fearful and uncertain in the tech industry, we know that we are stronger when we stand together.
Now is the time to join our campaign for guaranteed severance, buyouts before layoffs, no GRAD quotas, and severance as leave.

Since we launched Googlers for Job Security, Google has offered VEPs to nearly 70,000 of our coworkers. We must continue to fight to make this a true company standard; we cannot allow Google to follow in the footsteps of other Big Tech companies making huge rounds of layoffs.

ICYMI: thousands of Googlers are united in our fight for job security. At a time when tech layoffs dominate the headlines despite companies reporting massive profits, Google workers are organizing together for a new way forward at Alphabet.

Despite making critical contributions to the booming AI industry, data workers often report that they aren’t treated like the skilled, valuable workers that they are.
So, from @alphabetworkersunion.org to @turkopticon.bsky.social, data workers are organizing for better pay and working conditions.

When we fight, we win! We were so proud to stand with our @kickstarterunited.org union fam during their strike - congrats on such a huge victory!
WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
![Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more.

🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN!
The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.
