Abstract
In a recent union election, an affiliate of the Communication Workers of America (CWA) unanimously won the right to represent certain technology employees of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. The names of the parties may not immediately resonate, but the CWA affiliate is Alphabet Workers Union. In turn, Cognizant Technology Solutions is a staffing agency for Alphabet Inc., which is the parent company for Google, and which was ruled by a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Regional Director to be a joint employer with Cognizant. The union win is a step forward to a new joint employer standard that holds putative joint employers liable for bargaining obligations and unfair labor practices.
