Good. Big fan of outcomes and communication rather than strict and opaque (i assume) monitoring

To follow up, it sounds positive to me:

The collective bargaining agreement between Accenture and the Alphabet Workers Union covers about 25 workers including writers and design analysts. Employees voted Wednesday to ratify the deal, which the union said guarantees permanent work-from-home options, creates a committee where management is required to consider workers’ input on software tools, and prohibits Accenture from monitoring their keystrokes or mouse movements.

The agreement also provide six weeks of paid time off to look for new positions when there are jobs cuts, a particular concern for these employees because the majority of their original bargaining unit was laid off last year.
