YouTube Music Contractors Laid Off Mid-Speech to Austin City Council While Seeking Better Pay
- YouTube Music contractors informed mid-speech to Austin City Council that they had just been laid off
- Council was set to consider passing resolution calling on Google to bargain with the contractors

- Contractors had unionized in April 2022 citing low pay, minimal benefits, return-to-office order
- Google claims layoffs occurred on normal contract expiration date, but details suggest otherwise
