The Alphabet Workers'Union is an organization formed with the support of the Communications Workers of America, and all Alphabet employees and contractors can participate regardless of role or division.

According to program manager Nicky Anselmo, Google has always resisted 'real name' policies, the Pentagon's military drone development plan 'Project Maven,' andpaid huge rewards to executives who left the company on suspicion of sexual harassment. Various battles are being fought, such as protests against the union, and it is said that these activities are the basis for the formation of the labor union this time.

'This is a historic event, the first union of a major IT company for all tech workers, by all tech workers,' said software engineer Dylan Baker.

The union's Executive Chairman Parul Cole and Vice Chairman Chewy Shaw contributed their opinions to the New York Times. The two said that when Google was founded, it had a motto of 'Don't Be Evil' and 'doing better for the world than short-term profits', and they are a society. Despite joining Alphabet to build technology to improve, company leaders claim that profits have been a priority.
