Being part of TWC does not mean you are having actual organizing conversations with rank and file engineers to get them to form a union. How have organizing conversations gone with Google employees? Not the ones that come to you. The ones where you go to them. Do they say yes to your direct asks? Do they join the organizing committee? Do they rat you out?

I'm not part of Google. I'm not even American. You're taking a specific worst case to generalize for a global industry. Google is an anomaly in every regard.
