On January 4, 2026, Alphabet Workers Union turned 5! To celebrate our union’s 5th birthday, AWU members reflected on our first 5 years as a union. Some of us are founding members and some of us joined just this month – but we're all building worker power at Alphabet.

The Washington Post Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Hannah Natanson’s property and personal devices. Hannah is a valued member of our union whose work covering the federal workforce has been essential (1/3)

Tech giants are making massive investments in generative AI, integrating it into their existing products and selling access to the foundational models to other businesses and consumers.
But all that money and power isn’t making its way down to the people who make AI actually work: data workers.

Despite making critical contributions to the booming AI industry, data workers often report that they aren’t treated like the skilled, valuable workers that they are.
So, from @alphabetworkersunion.org to @turkopticon.bsky.social, data workers are organizing for better pay and working conditions.
