Google's 'Shadow Workforce' of Contractors Demands Higher Wages, Equal Benefits in a Letter To CEO Sundar Pichai (cnbc.com)
Members of Google's "shadow workforce" of temporary workers and contractors is demanding higher wages and equal benefits to full employees in an open letter addressed to CEO Sundar Pichai. From a report, submitted by an anonymous reader: It's the latest in a series of public stands made by Google employees against aspects of the company culture. A coordinated walkout by employees around the globe protesting discrimination and sexual harassment at Google led the company to end forced arbitration for claims. Last month, several hundred employees signed onto a letter protesting the company's censored search efforts in China. A Bloomberg report in July said Alphabet had more contractors than direct employees this year, for the first time ever.
Google's mission is to 'organize the world's information and make it universally accessible.' But the company fails to meet this standard within its own workplace. Google routinely denies [temporary, vendor, and contract workers] access to information that is relevant to our jobs and our lives," the letter published Wednesday says. The latest letter is signed only by "TVCs at Google" and does not indicate the number of employees backing the effort. Google did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday.

Good ole' Bernie Sanders.
Before 2016, net worth of $300k. A "common folk" guy. I disagreed with his issues, but other than that I thought he was an ok guy.
Loses rigged primary to Clinton, and doesn't say anything about it (I think he quietly filed a lawsuit against DNC, not sure what happed with it).
Since then he buys a $600k beach house the month after he loses, with CASH! WTF? He didn't have that much cash 6 months earlier.
Today I see he spent $300k on private jet flights in ONE MONTH story according to FEC submissions.
Yea, little ole Bernie. He questionably loses a primary to Clinton, and SUDDENLY he is buying mansions and flying everywhere in private jets. Meanwhile he is doing nothing for you. He ran to cash out in the cess pool of corruption that is the DNC in DC. Oh, and his wife also appears as corrupt as hell as well.
Sanders is as corrupt as they come. You are a fool to listen to him, but I have explained to you how your support of politicians is what is causing you the issues you keep complaining about. Sanders ran in a plan to get bribed to shut up about the rigged primary, cashed out, and is living large. You are too dumb to realize how he profited from the rigged primary that it appears he was part of.
Does ANY DNC supporter have an issue with the rigged 2016 primary? It appears they all welcomed it and cheered it along, and fully support all of those involved.
