GoKawiilGoogle DeepMind staff file UK application to force unionization ballot
Workers at Google DeepMind UK, represented by the Communication Workers Union and Unite, have filed an application with the Central Arbitration Committee asking it to confirm sufficient staff support for a formal unionization ballot. If approved, roughly 1,000 employees in product-focused roles would become eligible for union membership, and Google DeepMind would be legally bound by the ballot's outcome. The move follows unsuccessful voluntary talks between staff, unions and company representatives.
