Nearly 60 workers have been on strike this month.
Sen. Bernie Sanders threw his support behind striking YouTube Music workers in a letter addressed to Google CEO Sundar Pichai Tuesday,Sanders’ support comes amid growing tensions between workers on YouTube Music’s Content Operations team and its parent company, Google. The nearly 60 workers are formally employed by Cognizant, a third-party contractor to Google. Last October, they filed for a union election with the 1,300-member Alphabet Workers Union .
“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.” “We worry that Cognizant suddenly imposed these impossible requirements on these workers in response to them exercising their right to organize a union,”
. “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.”The YouTube Music workers officially called a strike on February 3rd, three days before the return-to-office mandate went into effect., the AWU called it the first-ever strike at Google.
In January, Sanders became the chair of the powerful Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. In addition to his Tuesday letter to Google, Sanders has leveraged his newfound power to go after other companies allegedly obstructing unionization efforts and running afoul of federal labor law. Earlier this month, Sanders hinted at subpoenaing Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz to testify before his committee about the company’s “egregious union-busting campaign.
