PRESS RELEASE “FairTube”: The pressure has worked; the clock has been paused

On the last day of the deadline we set, IG Metall received a response from Google Germany. In it, Google Germany explains that it has “a strong interest in the success and satisfaction of YouTube creators”: “That is why we appreciate the interest recently expressed by the union in further supporting the work of YouTube creators.”

Google Germany has invited us to a meeting at the Google office in Berlin to “discuss some fundamental questions about the future of work.” We will accept this invitation to talk. The countdown clock on the fairtube.info website has been paused.

Christiane Benner, Second Chair of IG Metall: “The pressure we applied to Google and YouTube together with the YouTubers Union has paid off. We’ve succeeded in bringing Google to the table. We’re looking forward to the talks and want to schedule a meeting soon. That’s where we’ll see what changes YouTube is willing to make.”
