The CWA union continues to attempt new belt notches. The union’s Alphabet Workers Union arm recently organized Google Fiber customer service workers in Kansas City. CWA now sets its sights on organizing Verizon employees (in two Washington cities) who are demanding higher wages.
On the Internet content front, around 100 G/O Media writers (who work for tech, automobile, and pop culture-focused sites) headed to the picket lines while the company and Gizmodo Media Group Union continue to meet at the bargaining table in an effort to substantially increase benefits and guarantee a higher minimum wage.
