Google Declines Union Recognition Request but Agrees to Negotiate via ACAS
Google has rejected a request for voluntary union recognition from two UK unions at its DeepMind AI unit, but agreed to negotiate through the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS). The decision opens a 20-working-day period for talks before unions may seek statutory recognition. This follows new employment legislation in the UK that has made it easier for workers to unionize.
