This title is wrong. The workers who formed a union were not fired or laid off. Their contract was completed, and they were not re-hired.

      which it says follows “the end of a fixed term client contract”.

      Not in this case. Their contract expired, and they were not re-hired. That is not illegal.

      Is it?

      These people didn’t work for BioWare, didn’t have a CBA with BioWare, and the company they do have a CBA with says their contract with the client (BioWare) ended.

      This is exactly how it’s supposed to happen, except the hysterical media used the word ‘laid off’ instead of ‘completed their contract’
