It sounds like your job requires no talent and you could be easily replaced. Is it so?
Just because there are other people out there who can do the same job as you (or them) doesn’t mean that it takes no skill, nor that replacing them can be done at a snap of the fingers. But nobody is irreplaceable. That’s how companies see their employees. Even you.
Of course everyone deserves a raise and I do hope they get everything they’re asking for, but some people are more easily replaceable than others and in this case there might just be nothing stopping them from being replaced. It sucks, but Google isn’t technically required to negotiate.
So? The whole point of organizing is that under capitalism, corporations hold way more bargaining power than individuals. Pointing out that a corporation isn’t “required” to cooperate is basically a non-statement.
They “work historically” because workers fought “illegally” for years for the rights and protections that exist today. I don’t understand how this is defeatist. I’m all for worker power, and I’m glad these people are trying to push the needle further.
Pointing out that the current state of the law isn’t on their side is either “defeatist” because it has some implicit is/ought bias or implies that they won’t change anything, or it’s meaningless because they already know what they’re fighting against.
They’re literally replying to a comment which made that case. It wasn’t even their original idea and you’re shitting on them for it. Learn to fucking read.
Edit: wow and it’s your own comment that you apparently don’t know how to read.
Once this happens, Google just says “Oops, you’re shit out of luck” and then hires a whole new company of contracted workers for the same work, for cheaper.
I was basing my question on the plan how Google uses contract work. Well it’s fucking hard to just throw that staff away if it’s not easy or what? Try to fucking give two seconds of thought before being an asshole fucking shit head.
My question was about them not being easily replaceable, like that other comment seemed to describe.
Sorry about coming off as rude but all I wanted was an answer why they’d be easily replaceable because that’s the only way Google can willynilly just fire the entire staff. Otherwise the premise doesn’t make sense.
But you’re probably six feet deep on a five foot pole so apologies probably won’t do too much for your.

As a user of YouTube Music, quite possibly.
They probably still deserve raises.

That’s a very defeatist attitude. In this case Google can just sign the contract to another company, but unions do work historically.

You really need a ukelele for your apologies.
What can I say, it kinda pisses me off that they set me up and can’t even answer the question.
Good news is that since I’m easily replaceable the next guy can worry about the perfect apology.
