I’m very much pro-union, but meanwhile artists and creators who made that content in the first place are getting fucked by everyone
Time to stop using Gmail and YouTube. I had already avoided go░gle search for months now.
Over the last three or four months I had deleted all my FaceBook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram accounts. And this made me want to avoid go░gle search.
Just curious what’s wrong with saying Google?
You must be new to Lemmy. Grab a tinfoil hat from the box by the door.
Funny how the term “tinfoil” persists even though it hasn’t been used in over 70 years.
Easier to say than “aluminium”
“Aluminum” at least has 1 less syllable. But I usually just say “foil.” What else would I be talking about in that context?

(Sorry for the ‘ackshully’, but couldn’t resist.)
One less than aluminium
ACKSHULLY, I was referring to “aluminum” as opposed to “aluminium.”
What’s to stop every single corporation from leveraging third party contractor companies just to escape union bargaining? Cognizant seems like a company that basically exists for this reason. Both Amazon and Google play this game and it’s infuriating.
Dark Brandon and the NLRB are on that shit. No more malarkey.
Hopefully people turn out in 2024 and stop us going down the 1930s Germany route… my mother recently moved to Pennsylvania from a deep red state, and was saying that due to Bidens “corruption”, she didnt think she would vote in 2024. Upon further questioning, my hyper conservative fundemantalist Christian uncle had been sending her news.
Hope my arguments convinced her otherwise, she detests Trump & the Republicans. Her vote DOES matter now. Have her set up with a variety of news websites & Firefox/ublock origin etc, and not “Townhall” garbage.
A Google spokesperson told Motherboard in a statement at the time of the unionization that it had “no objection to these Cognizant workers electing to form a union,” but that it would not bargain with them. “We are not a joint employer as we simply do not control their employment terms or working conditions—this matter is between the workers and their employer, Cognizant,” the spokesperson said.
NLRB seems to disagree. This will be an interesting case, I suspect …
Google will simply find a different contractor company. Problem solved.
YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.
Which was an enshittified version of Songza. Google lost me for music a loooong time ago.
God I loved Sonza. The best place I ever found to discover new music. RIP Songza
Defeat the fuckingcapitalists
Yea, no…the headline is wrong on this one. These guys are contractors. Google will just nuke Cognizant’s contract and call it a day.
Those guys aren’t particularly good in my experience and are just warm bodies to do things that should be automated anyway.
Google will simply go to another big contract firm and call it a day.
The NLRB ruled that the nature of their work makes them employees of both Cognizant and Google, despite whatever those companies try to classify them as, and that both are required to negotiate with the union. Google is now just flat-out refusing to respect that decision.
That’s cool n all…but what happens when Google drops the contract?
I’m so glad bootlickers like you enjoy the taste of shoe leather. It makes the working class so much more unified.
Don’t work on contract…then things like this don’t happen.
Can I also live in your fantasyland where you get choices like this?
Sure…get a bachelor’s in STEM.
