Google walkout organizers aren’t satisfied with CEO’s response

Coordinators of the enormous walkouts at Google a week ago are — as it should be — not easing up on their requests. Prior toward the beginning of today, Google CEO Sundar Pichai reacted to a portion of their requests, sketching out how Google is disposing of constrained intervention for lewd behavior and rape claims, offering more straightforwardness around those examinations and the sky is the limit from there.

While Google made a few changes, the organization did not address the majority of the coordinators' requests. For instance, Google neglected to raise its central assorted variety officer to report straightforwardly to Pichai and furthermore disregarded the coordinators' demand to add a worker delegate to the top managerial staff.

In the Medium post today, the coordinators praised Google's procedure while additionally taking note of how Pichai's reaction did not address huge numbers of the center requests. In the post, they compose:

Notwithstanding, the reaction disregarded a few of the center demands — like raising the decent variety officer and representative portrayal on the board — and troublingly eradicated those concentrated on prejudice, segregation, and the auxiliary disparity incorporated with the cutting edge Jim Crow class framework that isolates 'full time' representatives from contract specialists. Contract specialists make up the greater part of Google's workforce, and perform basic jobs over the organization, yet get few of the advantages related with tech organization business. They are likewise to a great extent ethnic minorities, settlers, and individuals from regular workers foundations.

"The procedure by which we construct a really fair culture must focus the voices of dark ladies, outsiders, and ethnic minorities — the individuals who time after time pay the most notwithstanding these crossing issues," Google worker and walkout coordinator Demma Rodriguez said in the Medium post. "We are focused on getting this going, in light of the fact that genuine value relies upon it."

The overall walkout of 20,000 Google representatives and temporary workers came because of a cursing New York Times report with respect to Google's treatment of lewd behavior examinations. Advancing, the coordinators say they won't let up on the requests "most earnest for ladies of shading: a worker delegate on the board, raising the central assorted variety officer, more noteworthy straightforwardness on and a conclusion to circumstance imbalance at Google and past" and looks "forward to meeting with Google administration in attempting to meet the majority of our requests."

I've connected with Google and will refresh this story on the off chance that I hear back.
