Ask HN: Do we need a Google Customers Union? Could it work?
I recently saw that some Google employees are attempting to unionize and someone mentioned that Google's customers wish they could unionize.
That lead me to wonder: Could Google's customers form some sort of union and attempt to hold discussions with Google?
On the one hand I think it would in Google's interests to do everything to prevent having another party to have to negotiate with. On the other hand, if there was a union of customers and they occasionally demanded something everyone thinks is reasonable in the press, that may start something. Especially if Google caves on some of these issues.
