How does a contract union even work? Isn't the whole point of contractors that it's a less binding temporary position that can be terminated if needed?
I would be surprised if Accenture wasn’t pretty upset by this as well. Not a great selling point for potential clients: go with our contractors and they just might join your employees union!
