Appartently Google Music team in Austin recently unionized and began protesting for better wages they believed they were owed given their bachlors degrees and experience. Google apparently had a different view of these peoples value to the company. They got fired live, mid-day while petitioning the city government to intervene. Now they have the opportunity to seek a job that will give them all the things their little pea picking hearts desire... at least until their unemployement runs out. Then the reality will hit them again when they have the realization that they spent too much money on a useless degree.

This. Workers today think that employers are there to cater to them and bend down to them.

Workers are replaceable, jobs are not.

They weren't even fired. They were contractors and Google didn't renew their contract.

So they were mad that they weren't needed any longer in Google's plans and threw a fit? Not the best use of their time if they need new employment.

If they were self-employed contractors, no one was reporting their wages on quarterly reports or paying UI on them so nothing to collect on a claim. Unless they can get the Texas Workforce Comm or Feds to go back and retroactively define them as employees, then the issue of whether they were laid off or fired with good cause comes up.

Noted. I was replying to someone who mentioned them collecting UE, thinking that isn't going to occur.

If they were on strike, they'd already quit their jobs...

Those guys just learned a valuable lesson about action, and reaction…

… as the bell rings and he slowly turns and walks away from the podium and towards the unemployment line.

I have a feeling those folks are about to realize they didn't have it so bad at Google.

Someone help me out...they went to a city council meeting to discuss their strike with a private company that is not contracted by the city for services (unless I'm wrong on that part)...is that correct? For what purpose does a union strike hope to accomplish by going to whine about to city council...just to get some free TV time? Not to mention they aren't even employed by said company (I can't begin to articulate just how dumb that is...to strike against a company that you are contract labor for).

The level of stupidity on display here, at multiple levels, is mind-boggling.

When you are contract labor, the company with whom you are contracted to work for is your customer, not your employer. You don't protest your customers. You don't go to city council meetings to complain about your customer.

I just...I have no words.
