As workers urged City Council to pass a resolution asking Google to negotiate with RU-vid Music employees, they were told their contract was over.
The move came after the group was hopeful that Austin City Council might be able to help urge their tech giant employers to come to the bargaining table and negotiate. But a year of tension that included a strike, a unionization vote, a return-to-office and National Labor Relations Board disputes, all came to a head when tech staffing agency Cognizant held a meeting in their Austin office informing dozens of workers that their employment contract had ended.

So your company Cognizant, was hired for a service and you in turn were hired to do a job and then tried to sue the people who were paying your company for a service, not your actual company Cognizant. So then your work contract with Conizant ended and thats Google's fault how? My guess you are the same group of people that were saying "Learn to code" a few years ago. No one owes you anything.

Can someone explain why people are so passionate to work for companies that apparently don't pay well? Did they not know the job paid 19/hr when they applied for it? Did they still not know that when they accepted it? Why now do they still want to work for this company that is making them take their issues to court? Is RU-vid music the only music company in the planet that offers jobs?

Google is telling them what they are worth, if they don't agree, then get a different job and get paid more. Now that they are laid off, they know that Google does not value them.

Someone feel free to correct me if any of this isn't factual. But from what I read, it sounds like they were not actually laid off, at least not yet. They were benched by the company they actually work for (Cognizant). They get to do next to nothing for 7 weeks while waiting on a new assignment that may or may not come. At that point they might be laid off. They were never FT Google employees, which apparently bothered them a great deal. But Google never hired them individually and has no real responsibility for their individual employment.

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.

The city council has approved RU-vid's use of property and maybe tax breaks to operate in the city on the promises of creating jobs. Just like Wal-mart does and a lot of other shady corporations. So if Alphabet/youtube pulled a scam on the city council, then the city council should pressure the corporation to fulfill it's promises or fork over the taxes they should be paying, instead of creating an unlivable situation for wage slaves in the city.

If you are truly worth that, someone will pay for your unique talents and skills. If not, maybe, just maybe, your unique talents and skills are not worth that much to them.
