Google cuts team of contractors who went on strike


The cuts end a yearlong strike by the workers.

A union representing contractors for YouTube Music claims that Google cut the workers’ contract after they went on a prolonged strike. In a statement emailed to The Verge, Google spokesperson Courtenay Mencini maintained the decision to cut the team did not lie with them but, rather, with Cognizant and said, “Contracts with our suppliers across the country routinely end on their natural expiry date.” It is disgusting that Google has taken this path when confronted with its workers’ modest demands to be treated fairly on the job,” said contractor and union member Jack Benedict in a statement.
