Google is sitting on the “but they’re contractors!” angle because it makes it easier for them.
Why?
Because once the union does collective bargaining with their actual employer, Cognizant, the company will have almost no recourse but to increase fees to Google for the contract work.
Once this happens, Google just says “Oops, you’re shit out of luck” and then hires a whole new company of contracted workers for the same work, for cheaper.
Google purposefully uses this type of structure to ensure they never have to pay more, even when collective bargaining with unions does happen. Because then they can just shitcan the whole company and claim costs were too high. They certainly won’t break their contract, but you can bet your ass when time comes to renew it, Google will have found someone new to take their place.
They’re literally replying to a comment which made that case. It wasn’t even their original idea and you’re shitting on them for it. Learn to fucking read.
Edit: wow and it’s your own comment that you apparently don’t know how to read.

I was basing my question on the plan how Google uses contract work. Well it’s fucking hard to just throw that staff away if it’s not easy or what? Try to fucking give two seconds of thought before being an asshole fucking shit head.
My question was about them not being easily replaceable, like that other comment seemed to describe.
Sorry about coming off as rude but all I wanted was an answer why they’d be easily replaceable because that’s the only way Google can willynilly just fire the entire staff. Otherwise the premise doesn’t make sense.
But you’re probably six feet deep on a five foot pole so apologies probably won’t do too much for your.

This is exactly how it works. I’ve seen the same thing go down with another major Google contractor (fortunately as an outsider).
That sounds like their jobs require no talent and are easily replaced. Is it so?

You really need a ukelele for your apologies.
What can I say, it kinda pisses me off that they set me up and can’t even answer the question.
Good news is that since I’m easily replaceable the next guy can worry about the perfect apology.

As a user of YouTube Music, quite possibly.
They probably still deserve raises.
