Dozens of Google workers from across the country rallied at Google headquarters Wednesday to demand higher wages and benefits from Google's parent company Alphabet.
With the backing of the Alphabet Workers Union, a group of Google contract workers known as"raters" made their voices heard on Google's main campus calling for fair pay and benefits.
"That means when you search for something on Google, that your search results are going to be accurate, helpful and relevant," said Michelle Curtis, a Google rater. "We want to be able to do our job well, to earn a dignified wage, and have access to basic benefits like health insurance and paid time off," said Google rater Teresa Partain.
But these raters and their supporters say the tech companies are only looking to increase their profits.
