Indeed they were employed by Cognizant, not Google, as contract workers and not full-time employees. Ultimately, they unionized for the purpose of bring recognized as full employees (again, they're contractors, not FTE) and to incur the same pay and benefits offered to the full-timers (as a contractor, you sign in total acknowledgement of your pay and benefits, and understand you're paid through the agency, not the company you're provided to). This brings Cognizant to an awkward position, because now Google have grounds to terminate Cognizant's contract wholecloth.

I was a skilled construction worker. 35yrs. When I I asked for a raise after one yr. Was refused by the end of the wk. I had a new job with someone else. I got my raise!!! The trick is it's easier to get a different job while you're still employed!

You can't force a company to pay you above minimum wage. Either find another employer or start your own business. If your job isn't marketable then go back to school and grab a second degree that is.

It's funny how you demonize these people, but everything you have is because people like this fought against the Spainish and British empires. Without people like this you would be speaking a mix of Japanese, German and Chinese!

Thanks, genius. You truly are a deep thinker and a benefit to society.

Probably too early to tell, apparently this happened just a few days ago. This might play out over several years.
