You can’t sue for discrimination or wrongful termination.
You are not protected by the WARN act.
There are more but that’s just off the top of my head.
If there wasn’t a difference,
companies wouldn’t do it.
Remember, they have to pay these people more money than they would for a direct hire because the staffing agency takes a cut of their weekly pay.

- gnopgnip 6y agoContractors for Google are still employees working for a contracting company. They could sue if they were discriminated against for membership in a protected class.
- mamon 6y agoUsually this is not true: they are not employees at all, contracting company also hires them as subcontractors, each of them running their own sole propertiorship (at least that's how it works in my country). But even if they were employees, they are not really getting fired from the contracting company - it can still try and find them another gig, for a different client. So you can say they are not getting fired at all, just suddenly have no work to do (but still have a valid employment contract). Of course if contracting agency can't find them another position in reasonably short time they will fire them as well, but that's not on Google anymore, so Google can't be sued for that.
