    Having worked at Google there wasn’t any anti-unuon propaganda or anything: it was just genuinely the best work environment I’d ever experienced… Right up until they laid me off.

    So while I was there the thought of joining a union would have been “meh - what can they realistically get me?” and after the layoff was “oh yeah right they could’ve gotten me protection”

      Exactly. You don’t join it for workplace perks, you join it for protection against unfair practices.

      You have your fire insurance, your car insurance,life insurance. To me, a union is a work insurance. Always have been unionised and I always will be.

        To be fair to my naive past self: it was the first mass layoff at Google, ever.

        Based on my friends still there: the vibes are decidedly less trusting all around.
