      I think the team were “contractors” so that google could do this and sidestep other employee protections.

      This is huge context. Had they been Google employees it would have been a clear case of retaliation. But in this case they’re not Google employees, and their own employer was locked in a fixed term vendor contract. I don’t believe Google has done anything wrong under these circumstances.

      I take it as more supportive action and organization should be made. If everyone at YouTube music, heck YouTube or Google in whole were to go on strike and say hire them. Issue would soon be rectified.

        Certainly, I’d be inclined to remark that he doesn’t seem to be a terribly high-class fellow at all, really
