Google Fiber workers in Kansas City, Missouri have voted overwhelmingly to unionize, after a months-long campaign to squash the union led by their contractor BDS Connected Solutions. The National Labor Relations Board announced on Friday that workers voted 9-to-1 in favor of unionization.
The Google Fiber workers are the first in the country to successfully unionize, and are also the first NLRB recognized bargaining unit of the Alphabet Workers Union, a branch of the Communications Workers of America.
