Cognizant’s return-to-office order viewed as possible union-busting tactic.
members were picketing. YouTube Music's Content Operations team, which provides day jobs for many, has been organizing for 10 months under the banner of the AWU and filed for a union election in October. This is the first known strike in Google's history.
Regan says RTO would translate into a significant pay cut for many employees, who already work extra jobs to make ends meet."A ton of us live outside of Austin, and starting pay for my job as a music generalist is $19 an hour," says Regan."Workers across the country are getting squeezed by cost-of-living increases and inflation, and it's especially bad in Austin.
"We see this RTO order as a form of union busting, an attempt to disrupt our ability to organize, and effectively lay people off that are pro-union and potentially replace them with people that haven't been organized," says Regan. Indeed, Stevens-Ross told theone of the options provided by management was to transfer to a different department within Cognizant, which would preclude them from voting in the union election.
Regan is optimistic about the team's election prospects:"We had about 85% of our department sign authorization cards. I think our showing here with the strike, growing camaraderie, very strong public support, has been pretty incredible. But this unfair labor practice that our employer is committing threatens our ability to organize. About 20% of our workforce lives out of state, but most of us here are from Austin.
