flag Google contractors on AI projects were laid off amid unionization efforts and labor complaints.

flag Google laid off over 200 contractors working on AI projects like Gemini and AI Overviews, primarily through GlobalLogic, with cuts occurring in two rounds last month and little warning. flag Workers, many holding advanced degrees, were involved in refining AI responses and reported unrest over pay, job security, and working conditions. flag Some allege the layoffs followed unionization efforts and complaints to the National Labor Relations Board. flag Google stated it is not directly responsible, as contractors were employed by GlobalLogic or its subcontractors. flag The firings reflect broader concerns about the treatment of low-level AI workers as tech firms prioritize AI development.
