   CWA Organizing Update: RaterLabs/Google

   After months of mobilization efforts demanding fair pay and working   
   conditions, thousands of Alphabet contract workers won the first ever   
   raises in the history of RaterLabs, a vendor whose only known client   
   is Google. Workers, known as raters, are responsible for training,   
   testing, and evaluating Google’s search algorithms. The workers were   
   previously paid as little as $10/hour, directly contradicting the   
   standard minimum pay and benefits Google had announced for its   
   extended workforce workers in 2019. In May of 2022, the workers   
   launched a petition on behalf of Alphabet Workers Union-CWA (AWU-CWA)   
   and met with management in October of 2022 to demand that all of   
   Alphabet’s extended workforce were included in Alphabet’s standards,   
   and that these standards themselves are just.
