Almost certainly misclassified employees which is also illegal. But sadly something that is largely just… permitted and ignored.
The employees are not contractors, but it looks like they work for a firm which has been hired by Google. Reading a little further it does look like NLRB has found that Google is considered a joint employer and would be obligated to bargain. Which they’re not doing, I guess hoping for an appeal to go their way.
