We, the workers of YouTube Music, employed by Cognizant Technology Solutions and Google, are on a ULP strike after both companies retaliated against our legal right to unionize. This record compiles 17 tracks by striking members of this team. All proceeds from this album go to the team's strike fund.
The vast majority of us were hired remotely, from all over Texas and all over the country. After we filed for our union election, the companies announced a “return to office” plan, telling our coworkers that if they didn’t move to Austin and report to the office, they would lose their jobs. Our employers are now threatening to move our work overseas or take other actions against us if we support our union.
We decided democratically to strike to protect our coworkers' jobs and our union!
We hope this compilation captures the diverse tapestry of perspectives and personalities that makes up our team.
