The @AlphabetWorkers union has capitalists everywhere trying to convince you Google employees don't need a union because they're already well-paid,* so let's talk about what unions do besides negotiate pay

*But not as well paid as venture capitalists belittling them, hmmm
We've intentionally done this slowly, bringing people into the fold one by one, building a strong base to pressure Alphabet collectively.
"We're not going to get to 100,000 workers in a way that's sustainable & effective, & without getting totally squashed."
"If we really wanna get serious about disrupting violence in the workplace, we have to get serious about fluidity.
But fluidity isn't profitable."

As @HarshaWalia reminds us of Black August, @LVikkiml reminds us of August Rebellion, the 1974 uprising at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women in response to horrific violence & punishment of an incarcerated leader Carol Crooks. https://t.co/rpEDRJzn1w
This is a fantastic week-by-week study guide with readings, videos, & audio about abolition put together by comrades at @AbolitionJ. Glad to see our materials & the rad work of sooo many others developed over the years compiled & accessible. Check it out! https://t.co/UCJgATHEyD
There is an vast body of literature, research, and analysis that exists on the topic of abolition. People, specifically Black feminists, have been rigorously engaging with the idea for decades. Just because it's an idea you're not familiar with doesn't mean it's worth dismissing.
