The YouTubers Union just merged with IG Metall, the largest independent trade union IN THE WORLD (2.3 MILLION members) under a joint venture. If successful, it will cause a domino effect across all tech companies, causing a mass of unionization against companies across silicon valley, like Google, Facebook, etc.

You can find their video here

they’re demanding:

  • Transparency in how videos are flagged by bots, and why they were specifically blocked/demonization
  • Clear rules, exact reasoning on choices made by YouTube
  • No more more “machine” responces for counter claims and challenges, demanding an actual human representative
  • Independent dispute resolution. A 3rd neutral party to help lay judgement on serious claims
  • Participation. Giving a voice on YouTube policy to YouTubers

They have given YouTube 4 weeks to enter negotiations with them over this.
