Yeah that doesn't look like any union I've ever seen.

What unions have you seen/participated in? What countries are those located in? Could you imagine a union that does something that is not shared with those unions you've seen?

Being unlike other unions doesn't have to bad, could be great thing. Why not improve on top of the idea of unions and try to come up with something even better? Seems like an excellent idea, especially in these times of "disruption" of industries left and right.

You might get a Google indeed; some new vehicle that helps move society forward. But I suspect a very dangerous Theranos; except the union members will be left holdng the mess after it blows up .

This comment is so low effort, can you provide any evidence or backing for your statement?

From the definition of unions there isn't much overlap. Yes they want to protect Google Workers from harassment which is valuable but doesn't sound like they're fighting for improving wages, benefits, or working conditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_Sta...
