I have two questions that are related: 1) Isn't this really a "problem" for HCL, and not necessarily Google? Google can just not renew the contract, meaning all the benefits they gain from working "for Google" go away. And if you make the assumption that Google is hiring firms like this primarily because of cost, then their incentive as a public company is to keep costs low and switch to another firm. (Unless this is primarily to reduce the margins for HCL? i.e. costs to Google stay flat, but workers take home a larger share.) 2) More of a criticism on Unions: why don't these folks just go work for Google if they want the benefits? Either they have the ability and don't want to, which is their choice, or they don't pass the hiring bar, which then means any comparison to what Google employees make is not appropropriate.
