> Google contractors have long complained about their unequal treatment compared to full-time staff. While they make up the majority of Google’s workforce, they often lack the benefits of salaried employees
I don't know how it works in the US, but in the UK contractors benefit from tax advantages compared to salaried employees, although HMRC is actively trying to kill the contractor market by tightening IR35 rules. That said, if contractors end up getting the same benefits as salaried employees then their contractor status is on dodgy legal ground. This may be a phyrric victory for them.
