Especially since the story isn't even about Microsoft! Microsoft negotiates a new contract with Volt in which they pay 10% less for each consultancy hour bought. Which is not unreasonable since it costs them 2-3 times as much for consultants as for full-time employees. Volt chooses to put the lost income on each individual consultant as 10% lower salary.
And what planet are you from? This is total BS. Microsoft is the reason for the 'vote'. You need to get a grip and realize the thrust of the issue.
Yes, consultants cost more per hour of pay, but with all the other costs of employees, its pretty much a wash as far as overall costs go. (vacations, health care, taxes, etc)
This action is another fine example of market domination at play. Volt is pretty much only serving msft with their 'staff'. One could honestly say that Volt is the consulting arm of msft where the staff has other opportunities every 100 days, the only reason they do anything other than only msft staffing!!
