Google Fiber Workers (AWU-CWA) Celebrate Announcement of Election Start Date & Prepare to Become First AWU-CWA Bargaining Unit

(Kansas City, Missouri) — Statement from Jason Guffey, Retail Associate at Google Fiber and BDS Connected Solutions.

“We are excited to be confidently entering our NLRB union election on March 4 where a clear majority of our coworkers will vote YES to having a voice on the job. We know that as BDS Connected Solutions and Google Fiber workers, we provide a vital service to Alphabet and deserve a protected voice on the job in order to negotiate the fair wages, benefits and protections we deserve. We continue to call on management to agree to a fair union election process and ask them to commit to not engage in any union-busting activities in an attempt to silence workers. We call on Google, which has immediate oversight over BDS Connected Solutions, to instruct them to commit to a fair election in order to ensure that workers can freely exercise their rights. We look forward to becoming the first certified bargaining unit with AWU-CWA and to sitting at the negotiating table after our successful union election.”
