The irony of this is that Google's increasingly abusive behavior towards people talking about organization is that they're actually building a case for engineers to unionize to stop Google from these questionably legal firings.
If Google upper management had just shut up and kept the status quo and recognized that without impetus, comfortable workers almost certainly won't organize in America, then the unionization of Google would not be a national topic.
But here we are, with holdout reactionary bro's who ate the Ellison/Jobs/Schmidt wage-fixing cartel line about how evil unions were (even as they organized to oppress workers) in positions of power opening up the company (and thus the company's stock) to huge liability.
