The entire "Google Union" story has been exaggerated.

Everyone got so caught up in the unionization narrative that they didn't even read the details of the union in the first place. Specifically, this union isn't the kind of union with collective bargaining rights, which is what most people assume when they see the word "union".

> The Alphabet Workers Union will push for change without traditional collective bargaining rights.

This pseudo-union is more like a Discord group of 100-200 Google employees who will try to influence change together, without actually forming a traditional union.
