"Google's YouTube Music Layoffs: Allegations of Retaliation and Union Support"

Former workers from YouTube Music's Content Operations Team in Austin, who were part of a unionization effort, were abruptly laid off and replaced by workers in India, whom they were instructed to train. Google and Cognizant, the companies involved, deny a mass layoff and claim the contract ended naturally. The workers allege illegal union-busting and are filing Unfair Labor Practice charges. They were seeking better pay, benefits, and flexibility, and are determined to continue fighting for justice. The incident has sparked a debate about labor rights and the treatment of contract workers in the tech industry.
