Google Allows UK Union Access to Offices

• Google has agreed to let the Prospect union speak to its UK staff in its offices, including its King’s Cross headquarters.
• This follows a new UK law, in force since Friday, giving unions a right to access workplaces.
• Prospect signed a similar deal with Meta in September.
• The Prospect union has reached an agreement with Google to begin organizing among about 7,000 workers across the UK.
• Trade unions are expected to make further inroads into big tech companies in the UK after new rights for unions to access workplaces came into force.
