According to documents obtained by Motherboard, IRI union avoidance consultants regularly gathered information about 83 rank-and-file hospital employees' personality, temperament, motivations, ethnicity, family background, spouses' employment, finances, health issues, work ethic, job performance, disciplinary history, and involvement in union activity in the lead-up to a union election.
The new labor union at Google raises IRI's profile in what is expected to become a full-blown drive to organize and welcome its parent company Alphabet’s tens of thousands of workers into a union.
In response, the Alphabet Workers Union, the new union representing Google workers told Motherboard,"Google claims to value privacy, then expends resources on consultants like IRI who are intent on collecting worker data in order to manipulate employees to work against their best interests.
"Collecting this data is absolutely standard anti-union consultant playbook," said Celine McNicholas, labor legal counsel at the Economic Policy Institute."There's an incredible amount of coercion to frustrate workers." "Consultants specialize in operating in the grey areas of the law," said John Logan, a professor at San Francisco State University who researches the union avoidance industry.
