Google Contract Employees Win Pay Raise to $15 an Hour
The Alphabet Workers Union announced on Monday that thousands of contract employees assessing the quality of Alphabet Inc.'s Google search and advertising have secured a raise that brought their wages up to $15 an hour. This follows a Bloomberg report documenting allegedly inadequate pay and benefits.
This raise was achieved as a result of contract workers' advocacy efforts and presents a major victory for the Alphabet Workers Union.
The Alphabet Workers Union, founded earlier this year, is a group of workers at Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, who are pushing for workplace reform. The group's mission statement is to make Alphabet and Google a more equitable and just workplace.
This pay raise is only the latest success in the Alphabet Workers Union's mission. The union also has previously won broader benefits such as paid parental leave, improved job security and protection from political discrimination.
The Alphabet Workers Union has made it clear that there is more to do. This pay raise is a major step in the right direction, and union representatives are hopeful that it will push other employers to follow suit.
