💨 Abstract

Google is under scrutiny by the US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for allegedly being the employer of contract workers at IT firm Accenture Flex, who voted to join the Alphabet Workers Union. The NLRB claims Google is a joint employer, forcing it to the bargaining table and making it liable for any labor law violations. This comes after a previous ruling in January 2024 that Google must bargain with workers at YouTube Music.
