Yea, no...the headline is wrong on this one. These guys are contractors. Google will just nuke Cognizant's contract and call it a day.

Those guys aren't particularly good in my experience and are just warm bodies to do things that should be automated anyway.

Google will simply go to another big contract firm and call it a day.

The NLRB ruled that the nature of their work makes them employees of both Cognizant and Google, despite whatever those companies try to classify them as, and that both are required to negotiate with the union. Google is now just flat-out refusing to respect that decision.

That's cool n all...but what happens when Google drops the contract?

I'm so glad bootlickers like you enjoy the taste of shoe leather. It makes the working class so much more unified.

Don't work on contract...then things like this don't happen.

Can I also live in your fantasyland where you get choices like this?
