The Alphabet Workers Union, which aims to represent both contingent and directly employed workers at Google, tweeted that a group of Google contractors working through Accenture are seeking to unionize. The contractors work at training generative AI answers for search engine and chatbots, according to union tweets.

“We want nothing more than to be able to do our best work, but we are treated like second-class citizens even though our product is vital to Google’s success,” Casey Padron, a member of the Alphabet Workers Union, said in a tweet by the union.

The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper reported the 119 contractors working at Google through Accenture decided to seek unionization after they were pulled off other projects to work on the company’s push into AI.

In a separate issue, the Alphabet Workers Union also tweeted a statement by Chris Schmidt, a software engineer and Alphabet union member, on Google’s mandate that workers be back in the office three times a week. Schmidt raised concerns about workers not having agency and argued a one-size-fits-all policy won’t work.

“The practical application of this new policy will be needless confusion amongst workers and disregard for our various life circumstances,” according to Schmidt’s statement. “Many teams are distributed, and for some of us there may not be anyone to collaborate with in our physical office locations. Currently, New York City workers do not even have enough desks and conference rooms for workers to use comfortably.”
