Google Fiber workers in Kansas City face union-busting efforts ahead of vote to organize
Summary
The contractors are employed directly by BDS Connected Solutions and work in a retail store for Google Fiber, the project that provides high-speed internet access to 19 U.S. markets, according to its website. One staffer told CNBC that BDS had made changes to their pay structure and removed some of the helpful Covid-19 protections like gloves, sanitization shields and partitions. The NLRB set the hearing date for Feb. 10, to confirm eligibility of union votes, which would precede an election, according to a filing viewed by CNBC. "I want to make the Companys position on this matter clear," Marco Morin, BDS national operations manager, wrote in the letter, which was obtained by CNBC. While the Google Fiber location in Kansas City employs just 12 people, excluding temp workers, its unionization drive is part of a broader movement in the tech industry thats slowing gaining momentum.
