Various Alphabet unions have joined forces and created a global alliance called Alpha Global. It was created with some help from UNI Global, a federation of unions that represents 20 million workers from a variety of fields including the technology industry. According to The Verge, 13 different unions are part of Alpha Global, spanning 10 different countries including the US, UK, Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. In a statement published by UNI Global, the alliance said it would "demand fundamental human rights for all workers in Alphabet operations" and generally hold the company, which owns Google and various'other bets' including DeepMind, Waymo, Verily, Sidewalk Labs and Wing, accountable. "The problems at Alphabet--and created by Alphabet--are not limited to any one country, and must be addressed on a global level," said Christy Hoffman, UNI's General Secretary.
