Google Cuts Ties with YouTube Music Team Protesting for Better Pay

Google Ends Contract with YouTube Music Workers, Igniting Pay Dispute

Google has recently terminated its contract with a group of YouTube Music team members who had previously protested for improved wages. The employees, who were hired through Google contractor Cognizant, were tasked with approving music content for YouTube Music. Last year in February, more than 40 workers participated in a strike, demanding better pay and adjustments to Google’s return-to-work policy. Shockingly, some employees were reportedly being paid as little as $19 per hour, according to the Alphabet Workers Union-CWA.
