Facebook contractors faced Christmas ultimatum: accept wage offer or lose jobs

Dispute between subcontracting firm and workers demanding better conditions has prompted protest inside Facebook

After 20 Facebook subcontractors demanded better working conditions, they were told to accept a counter-offer from their company by Friday afternoon - or lose their jobs.

The labor dispute has prompted internal protest by some full-time Facebook employees (FTEs), who have been sharing updates on the situation on the company's internal version of Facebook, known as Workplace, according to posts seen by the Guardian.
