Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what’s stopping tech workers still at Google from unionizing?

I work in tech as well, and I think the biggest reason is workplace mobility. Working at Google famously makes it easy go get a new job.

When work has sucked for me, I went job hunting not trying to fix a broken system

Some situations look more favourable in the rearview, yes.

Well everyone is being told they are special and top talent until they aren't. Then it's to late since there is a stigma attached and others don't want their shadow cast in them.
