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.
