Alphabet Inc’s Google announced the elimination of requirements for U.S. suppliers and staffing firms to pay their employees a minimum of $15 an hour and provide benefits. This change aligns with evolving labor regulations concerning contingent workers. The decision comes amid Google’s appeal of a National Labor Relations Board ruling that deemed the tech giant a joint employer. The company intends to adhere to a supplier code of conduct, ensuring safe working conditions. However, the move has raised concerns about union bargaining rights and control over temporary and contract workers.
