Unionized YouTube Workers Lose Their Jobs During Live City Council Stream

Contractors associated with Google's YouTube Music Content Operations Team, who won the right to unionize last year, have seen some of their contracts terminated by Google. The workers, who were contracted through IT talent firm Cognizant, were informed of the layoffs during an Austin City Council meeting where a resolution was being discussed that called on Google to bargain with its workers. Cognizant disputes the claim that workers were laid off, stating that their contract had expired. The Alphabet Workers Union-CWA has condemned the job losses, with some workers earning as little as $19 an hour and receiving minimal benefits. Google maintains that it is up to Cognizant to engage in collective bargaining with the workers and is appealing the National Labor Review Board's joint employer decision.
